Plain-English summary
Ford is recalling certain 2024 Mustang vehicles due to a defect in the fuel injector assembly. The fuel injectors may have been assembled without O-ring support discs. This recall also affects 2023-2024 Escape, 2025 Explorer, and 2023 Lincoln Corsair vehicles.
When O-ring support discs are missing, fuel leaks can occur. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
