Roush Recalls 2010 Ford Mustang

How bad does it sound? Roush Performance Products recalls 2010 Ford Mustangs because the company has discovered that a malfunction in the sport brake kit option could cause the vehicle brakes to fail completely in certain conditions. This is what could happen to 81 2010 Ford Mustangs, as a notification published on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website states, revealing that the glitch concerns Roush 427R Mustang, Roush Stage 1 Mustang and Roush Stage 2 Mustang with the sport brake kit option.

"Roush Performance Products is recalling 81 model year 2010 Ford Mustangs manufactured between April 9, 2009 and July 15, 2009 that were altered by Roush to include a sport brake kit option," it is mentioned in the notification. "The caliper anchor plate mounting bolts may become loose or dislodged during operation."

In short terms, "the failure may result in a loss of stopping performance, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash."

However, according to edmunds.com, things can get worse than that. Citing documents filed with the federal government, the source writes that "analysis concluded that in extreme conditions the vehicle braking could fail completely, which could result in a crash."

The glitch was first discovered by a Ford dealer on July 14. "The dealer reported that the problems were evident when the vehicles were driven as demonstration vehicles," the documentation said.

Roush Performance Products will begin informing owners in the upcoming weeks, with recalls expected to commence this month. Obviously, all operations will be conducted free of charge for all cars affected by the issue.
