2018 Ford Mustang

The 10-speed automatic (10R80) in the 2022 Mustang GT exhibits harsh or delayed engagement, hard shifts between gears, and occasional malfunction indicator lamp illumination. The shifts can be violent enough to cause the car to lurch, particularly during spirited driving.

Ford issued a TSB for 2022-2023 Mustang vehicles with the 10R80 addressing PCM software calibration, solenoid ID strategy, sticking valves in the main control valve body, and CDF clutch cylinder sleeve axial movement. Start with a PCM reflash; severe cases require valve body replacement.

Some 2018-2022 Mustang vehicles (non-Shelby GT350) experience active exhaust valve failures, resulting in 'Drive Mode Not Available' or 'Exhaust Mode Not Available' messages on the dash. The exhaust may default to quiet mode and the check engine light may illuminate.

Ford issued TSB 22-2282 addressing an improperly seated exhaust system. The dealer will inspect and reseat the active exhaust valves and actuators. If the actuator motors are burned out, they need replacement. Updated software calibration may also be applied.

The brake fluid level sensor may not activate the visual warning indicator on the dashboard when brake fluid is low. This means the driver may not be alerted to a dangerous low-fluid condition that could compromise braking performance.

Ford issued a recall for certain 2020-2023 Mustangs. The dealer will update the body control module software to properly detect and display the low brake fluid warning. Contact your dealer to check your VIN.

Some 2015-2022 Mustangs experience driver or passenger seat pan looseness, lateral seat movement, or a clunk/thump noise during turns. The seat may shift noticeably side to side over bumps or during cornering.

Ford issued a TSB identifying worn or loose seat pan tracks as the cause. The dealer will inspect and replace the seat track assembly. Tightening the seat mounting bolts may temporarily help, but track replacement is the permanent fix.

Some 2018-2024 Mustang coupe models exhibit a sagging headliner or a visible gap where the headliner meets the upper door weatherstrip. The headliner may droop from the roof and worsen over time, especially in hot climates.

Ford issued a TSB to replace the headliner with an updated version that uses improved adhesive and mounting clips. The repair is labor-intensive but should be covered under the bumper-to-bumper warranty if within the coverage period.

The rearview camera may display a distorted, inverted, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.

A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 13, 2026. Ford owners will receive letters in phases, beginning January 2026 and May 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S89.

Roush Performance Products, Inc. (Roush) is recalling certain aftermarket supercharger kits, part number R1318-6006P1-AA, sold for installation on 2018 Ford Mustangs. The hose barb fittings on the supercharger kits may be manufactured incorrectly, possibly causing damage to the fuel lines and resulting in a fuel leak.

A fuel leak can increase the risk of a fire.

Roush will notify the known owners and replace the defective fuel rail subassemblies, free of charge. The recall began on May 31, 2018. Owners may contact Roush customer service at 1-800-597-6874. Roush's number for this recall is REMay2018.

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Ford F-150 and 2018 Ford Expedition and Mustang and Lincoln Navigator vehicles equipped with 10-speed automatic transmissions. A roll pin may not have been installed in the transmission, potentially causing a loss of the "Park" function.

Despite the transmission shift lever being placed in 'Park' and the instrument panel display indicating 'Park,' the vehicle may roll away after it has been exited if the parking brake has not been applied, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transmission to make sure it has the roll pin, installing one if it is missing, free of charge. The recall began on April 13, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 18S09.

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2018 Ford Mustang vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and a 12.4" digital instrument cluster. If the ignition is turned off when the transmission is not in PARK, the instrument cluster may not illuminate the PRNDL gear position display and the operator may not receive the "Key in Ignition" chime when the driver's door is opened. As such, these vehicles fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence/Starter Interlock/Transmission Braking Effect," and number 114, "Theft Protection."

Without a visual or audible warning to the driver that the vehicle is in PARK, the vehicle may roll away after it has been exited if the parking brake has not been applied, increasing the risk of injury or a crash.

Ford will notify owners, and dealers will update the instrument cluster software, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin February 5, 2018. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 17C21.
