## What the record says

- **Product**: FORD MUSTANG (2020) - Recall 23V727000
- **Reason**: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Mustang vehicles. The brake fluid level sensor may not activate the visual warning indicator when the brake fluid is low. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems." Without a low brake fluid warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
- **Classification**: Not supplied
- **Recalling firm**: Ford Motor Company
- **Quantity**: 187922
- **Agency-reported status**: Published safety recall
- **Source record identifier**: 242989
