On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 23C35 (Transport Canada recall no. 2023-587) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the low brake fluid warning lamp not to turn on if the brake fluid level gets too low. A low brake fluid level can cause reduced braking.
A driver that isn't aware of a low brake fluid level could experience reduced braking and an increased risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module software (BCM).
On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 20S21 (Transport Canada recall no. 2020-203) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain vehicles, there is a problem with the warnings to tell a driver that the transmission is not in Park. When the ignition is turned off, with the driver door closed, the message and chime to warn that the transmission is not in Park are only active for 3 seconds. Instead, the chime should sound for 10 seconds and the message should display for 30 minutes. As a result, a driver could exit the vehicle without realizing that the transmission is not in Park. If this happens, the vehicle could roll away.
Unintended vehicle movement could increase the risk of injury and/or a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to reprogram the instrument panel cluster.

Under certain conditions, the powertrain control module (PCM) may incorrectly detect a fault in the transmission. If this happens, the reverse camera, reverse lamps, and different driver assistance technologies may not work properly. This includes traction control, forward collision warning, blind spot warning, and cross traffic indicator. Note: This recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 5.0 L engine and a manual transmission.
Reverse lamps that don't turn on could cause others not to recognize when a vehicle is backing up. A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. These issues and driver assistance technologies that don't work properly could increase the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the powertrain control module (PCM) software.
On certain cars, the brake pedal and bracket assembly could fracture if rapid and forceful pressure is applied to the brake pedal, as typically seen during track and competition driving. If this happens, there could be a loss of braking. Note: This equipment recall only affects the following brake pedal and bracket assembly part numbers: FR3Z-2455-AA FR3Z-2455-AB
A loss of brakes can create the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify its dealers of this recall. While dealers will attempt to contact people who may have purchased a part affected by this recall, if you have had the brake pedal and bracket assembly replaced on your car, you should contact the dealer that sold or installed it to find out if it is affected by this recall. Any part that is affected by this recall will be replaced, free of charge.
On certain vehicles, a software problem may cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to not turn on. Note: This recall only affects Shelby GT350 and Shelby GT500 models.
Daytime running lights that do not work could make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash.
Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the body control module (BCM) software.

Ford will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the rearview camera.
On one car, the forward-facing camera may not be aligned correctly. As a result, different safety systems may not work properly. This includes the pre-collision assist, adaptive cruise control, lane keeping system, driver alert, and auto high beam control.
