What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Roush Performance Products, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Ford Mustang GT Roush Stage 3 vehicles manufactured between April 1, 2015, and October 31, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with Roush Extreme Duty Half Shafts. The recall affects 461 vehicles.

The defect involves a brake caliper guide pin that may not have been sufficiently tightened during the installation of the half shafts. As a result, the caliper guide pin may loosen while driving, which reduces the vehicle's rear braking ability. A partial loss of the rear braking system can increase the risk of a crash.

Roush will notify owners, and Roush-authorized Ford dealers will tighten the caliper guide pin to the proper specification free of charge. The recall began in February 2016. Owners may contact Roush customer service at 1-800-597-6874 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
