Ford Recalls 30,735 Mustangs for Power Steering Control Module Update

Overview

Ford has issued a recall for 30,735 previous generation Mustangs to address a potential issue with the power steering control module (PSCM) software. The affected models may experience unintended steering movements, posing a safety risk to drivers.

Recall Details

• Models Affected: Mustangs built between September 2022 and April 2023
• Issue: Steering turning left and right on its own due to a calibration error in the secondary digital torque sensor
• Solution: Update the PSCM software at a Ford dealership

Impact

The unintended steering behavior could lead to a loss of control and increase the likelihood of a crash. While Ford has not received reports of accidents related to this issue, two warranty claims have been filed.

Resolution

Owners of the affected Mustangs are advised to visit their local dealership for a free software update. Due to the limitations of the 2023 models, over-air updates are not possible, necessitating an in-person visit.

Recent Recalls

Last month, Ford recalled 8,161 2024 Mustang GT and Dark Horse models with manual transmissions due to a clutch fire hazard. Owners are encouraged to stay informed about recalls and address any safety concerns promptly.
