Ford Mustang: Engine

Affects Ford Mustang · 2026 — about 14 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the circlips that secure the piston(s) to the connecting rod(s) may be missing or may not have been installed properly. As a result, the piston(s) could become damaged and cause the engine to fail. If this happens, there could be a loss of power to the wheels. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 2.3 L engine. Safety Risk: A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: None of the affected vehicles have been delivered to customers. Ford will instruct dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace the engine before each vehicle is delivered.
