## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [01V121000](/recalls/nhtsa/01V121000.md), 2001-04-11: SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.  IF THE BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY IN THE REAR KNUCKLE, WHERE THE LOWER CONTROL ARM ATTACHES, IS DISPLACED LONGITUDINALLY FROM ITS INSTALLED POSITION, IT CAN CAUSE HIGHER STRESS LEVELS IN THE KNUCKLE CASTING.  IF THIS OCCURS, THE CASTING COULD FRACTURE, ALLOWING THE CORNER OF THE VEHICLE TO DROP, AND THE LOWER CONTROL ARM COULD CONTACT THE INSIDE OF THE REAR WHEEL. Built 1998\-11\-02 to 2000\-08\-28.
- [00V355000](/recalls/nhtsa/00V355000.md), 2000-11-03: VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER/HVAC SYSTEM. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 4.6L ENGINES.   A COOLANT FLOW BLOCKAGE EXISTS AT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HEATER CORE NIPPLE RESULTING IN NO COOLANT FLOW TO THE HEATER AND, THEREFORE, NO WARM AIR FLOW FROM THE HEATER OR WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER.  VEHICLES WITH THIS CONDITION DO NOT COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 103, "WINDSHIELD DEFROSTING AND DEFOGGING SYSTEMS." Built 2000\-04\-03 to 2000\-06\-30.
- [00V349000](/recalls/nhtsa/00V349000.md), 2000-10-30: PARKING BRAKE:CONVENTIONAL. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS.   IF A VEHICLE IS PARKED WITH THE PARKING BRAKE NOT FULLY APPLIED AND NOT IN FIRST GEAR, AS DIRECTED IN THE OWNER GUIDE, AND THE SELF ADJUSTMENT PAWL SUBSEQUENTLY SKIPS ONE OR TWO TEETH, THE VEHICLE COULD MOVE ON SOME GRADES. Built 1993\-10\-04 to 2000\-10\-10.
- [99V250000](/recalls/nhtsa/99V250000.md), 1999-09-20: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.  THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR MAY HAVE A PIN SHAFT IN THE SWITCHABLE ELR/ALR MECHANISM THAT IS INCORRECTLY FORMED.   IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, THE SWITCHING MECHANISM COULD BECOME NONFUNCTIONAL, PREVENTING THE SEAT BELT WEBBING FROM BEING EXTRACTED FROM THE RETRACTOR.  IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT MALFUNCTION OF THE MECHANISM COULD PREVENT THE BELT FROM BEING SWITCHED INTO THE ALR MODE.  THE ELR MECHANISM IS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS CONDITION. Built 1999\-07\-26 to 1999\-08\-13.

- [2001079](/recalls/tc/2001079.md), 2001-04-05: Suspension. On certain Mustang SVT vehicles, when operated in severe driving cycles such as frequent drag race type standing start acceleration, the ball joint in the rear suspension knuckle where the lower control arm attaches may be displaced longitudinally out of its installed position.  If this occurs, the stress levels in the knuckle casting will increase and the casting may fracture. The corner of the vehicle will then drop and the lower control arm may contact the inside of the wheel, possibly affecting directional control.  Correction:  Dealers will install a revised rear suspension knuckle assembly with positive retention of the ball joint.
- [2000283](/recalls/tc/2000283.md), 2000-11-28: Heater And Defroster. Certain Mustang GT vehicles may not comply with C.M.V.S.S. 103 \- Windshield Defrosting and Defogging.  Coolant flow blockage at the intake manifold heater core nipple results in no coolant flow to the heater and, therefore, no warm air flow from the heater or windshield defroster.  Correction:  Dealers will repair the heater core nipple blockage and restore coolant flow.
- [2000282](/recalls/tc/2000282.md), 2000-11-28: Brakes. On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, if parked with the parking brake not fully applied and not in first gear, as directed in the Owner Guide, and the self adjustment pawl subsequently skips one or two teeth, the vehicle could move on some grades. This could result in unintended vehicle movement and a vehicle crash without prior warning.  Correction:  Dealers will modify the parking brake control and install a plate or over\-bracket to the control to lock the self adjust mechanism in position following adjustment.
