SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Safety Recall 20S26
Certain 2020 Model Year Mustang Vehicles
Image Processing Module A Camera Alignment Calibration
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Mustang | 2020 | Flat Rock | February 10, 2020 through February 11, 2020 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL
In all of the affected vehicles, the Image Processing Module A (IPMA) camera may not by calibrated correctly. As a result, the following features could have degraded functionality during vehicle operation:
- Pre-Collision Assist (PCA)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Lane Keeping System (LKS)
- Driver Alert
- Automatic High Beam Control (AHBC)
This condition may also prevent notifications to the driver that these features may not be functioning as intended. An incorrect IPMA camera calibration could compromise the effectiveness of the features to detect a frontal collision, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and detect lanes increasing the risk of an accident if the driver is relying on assistance from the system.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to reconfigure the IPMA by performing the Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) camera alignment procedure using the Integrated Diagnostic Software (IDS) release 117.06 or higher. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of June 15, 2020. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

FORD MOTOR COMPANY ISSUES TWO SAFETY RECALLS IN NORTH AMERICA
May 29, 2020 | DEARBORN, Mich.
DEARBORN, Mich., May 29, 2020 – Ford Motor Company is issuing two safety recalls in North America. Details are as follows:
Select 2016-17 Ford Transit Connect vehicles
In affected vehicles, the driver and/or front passenger seat belt pretensioners may not deploy in a crash event in which the front seat belt pretensioners are activated. Even with the primary seat belt locking function operating properly, if the front seat belt pretensioner fails to deploy during a crash, it may increase the risk of injury to a front occupant.
Ford is not aware of any such non-deployments or injuries associated with this condition. This action affects 1,616 vehicles in the United States and 131 in Canada. Affected vehicles were built at Valencia Assembly Plant, July 17-31, 2016.
Dealers will inspect the driver and front passenger seat belt assemblies and replace those that were produced during the suspect date range. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S25.
Select 2020 Ford Mustang vehicles
Affected vehicles are equipped with an image processing module A – a forward-looking camera – that is misaligned to the vehicle. As a result of this misalignment, the camera may not function as intended. An incorrect forward-looking camera alignment calibration may cause features to have degraded functionality during vehicle operation. Those features include Pre-Collision Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane-Keeping System, Driver Alert and Auto High-Beam Control. The Pre-Collision Assist system’s effectiveness in detecting a frontal collision may be compromised, increasing the risk of an accident.
Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. This action affects 24 vehicles in the United States and one in Canada. Affected vehicles were built at Flat Rock Assembly Plant, Feb. 10-11, 2020.
Dealers will reconfigure the forward-looking camera by aligning the Lane Departure Warning system camera. The Ford reference number for this recall is 20S26.
