Chronology :
On April 30, 2024, an issue pertaining to two reports of underhood fire allegations on 2024 model year Mustang vehicles with manual transmissions was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group for review.
Ford’s CCRG conducted inspections of both vehicles to understand the cause of the underhood fires.
On May 24, 2024, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.
