AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/09 Report--

Recently, Ford officially announced a recall of 30735 Mustangs, mainly due to steering failure of the vehicle steering wheel and the possibility that the secondary steering torque sensor may not be calibrated correctly, which may cause the steering wheel to turn left and right against the driver's intention, thus increasing the risk of accident. It is understood that the recall involves some Mustang models of 2022-2023.

Officials said the problem was discovered by an investigation after it was learned from suppliers in late May. At the same time, it is also pointed out that no reports of accidents or casualties caused by the above problems have been received. In the follow-up, the power steering control module software will be updated free of charge for the recalled vehicles to eliminate safety risks. In response to the recall, Ford said: "the goal is to fundamentally prevent quality problems. When problems inevitably arise, measures such as recall or after-sales service will be taken quickly to minimize customer inconvenience and solve their problems. Committed to improving the quality of products on the market and long-term quality, and has seen positive progress in this regard."

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that Mustang has conducted a recall. Last month, the clutch pressure pipe melted and caused brake fluid leakage, increasing safety risks due to the melting of the clutch pressure line of the vehicle. Ford announced a recall of 8161 2024 Mustang models. In addition to the recall in overseas markets, Ford, the domestic market, was also at risk of unreasonable emissions in May due to slight leakage in the low-pressure fuel line supplied by high-pressure fuel pumps. Recall 2371 imported sixth-generation Mustang cars in China. The models involved are some of the models produced between March 5, 2021 and October 10, 2022. Officials said at that time that they would replace low-pressure fuel lines for vehicles within the recall area free of charge to eliminate the risk of unreasonable emissions.

In December, the sixth-generation Mustang was recalled again in China. The main reason for the recall is the misconfiguration of the body control module. When the brake fluid is reduced to the lowest standard liquid level, the vehicle can not issue an alarm. In extreme cases, it may affect the braking effect of the vehicle, increase the risk of collision, and there are hidden dangers. Officials announced a recall of 5744 imported sixth-generation Mustang in China, covering some models produced between August 6, 2019 and October 10, 2022. Officials say they will eliminate safety risks by authorizing imported car dealers to reconfigure body control module parameters for vehicles in the recall area free of charge.

The data show that the Mustang, as a representative model of Ford's old muscle car, was first launched in 1964, when it was known as a civilian sports car, and it became a hot market when it was listed. Relevant data show that the first Ford Mustang opened with 22000 orders on the same day, and sales exceeded 100000 after only three months on the market. At present, the Mustang has iterated six generations of models. But in fact, only the sixth generation of Ford Mustang models have been introduced to the Chinese market. In 2015, the sixth-generation Mustang officially entered the Chinese market, and last month, the new Ford Mustang officially went on sale with a price range of 389800 yuan to 439800 yuan. Among them, the price of Ford Mustang hard-top model is 389800 yuan, and the price of convertible model is 439800 yuan.

As a classic sports car of Ford, frequent recalls will also have a certain impact on the reputation of the brand.

In fact, Ford has recently recalled more than just the Mustang. In June, Ford also launched a massive global recall of 668000 vehicles. The main model involved is the Ford Fmur150 pickup truck. Officials said the recalled models had faulty transmissions, lost signals between the speed sensor of the transmission output shaft and the powertrain control module, or caused the transmission to accidentally fall into first gear, increasing the risk of the vehicle getting out of control. Although it is said that the official voluntary recall reflects the attitude of being responsible to the users. But the recall that is too diligent will inevitably arouse consumers' concern about the quality of the brand.
