What the record says
- Product
- FORD MUSTANG (2021) - Recall 21V980000
- Reason
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 Mustang vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 226, "Ejection Mitigation," and 214, "Side Impact Protection." An air bag that does not inflate properly can increase the risk of injury in a crash.
