Pre Purchase Inspection for 2022 Ford Mustang

NHTSA recall 24V-493 covers certain 2022 and 2023 Mustangs. A steering torque sensor may not be calibrated right, which can make the steering wheel turn side to side on its own. Dealers update the power steering software for free. Recall 25V-096 covers cars that were repaired wrong the first time under 24V-493 and gets them the update again.

WE CHECK We check the VIN for both recalls, scan the power steering module, and road test on a straight road and in turns, hands light on the wheel.

NHTSA recall 25V-614 covers certain 2015 to 2017 Mustangs. Water and road salt can corrode the front seat belt anchor pretensioner cables, and a corroded cable can break in a crash. Ford mailed interim letters in October 2025 and expects the final remedy in December 2026, so many cars may not have the full repair yet. Older recalls also covered the 2015 passenger seat belt buckle sensor (14V-649) and 2016 seat belts damaged in shipping (15V-707).

WE CHECK We check the VIN for open seat belt recalls, pull and latch both front belts, look at the belt anchors and carpet for rust or water, and tell you if the final fix for 25V-614 is still pending.

Dealers add a new tank shield and heat wraps. Recall 14V-774 covers certain early 2015 cars with a fuel pressure sensor that may not be seated, which can leak fuel. Recall 25V-455 covers certain 2021 and 2022 Mustangs whose low pressure fuel pump may fail and stall the engine. For the Mustang the fix is a powertrain control module software update.

WE CHECK We check the VIN for each fuel recall, smell for fuel, look at the tank shield, lines and parking brake cable, and test the parking brake on a slope.
