## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2024 Mustang vehicles.  The brake fluid level sensor may not be properly configured after a Body Control Module \(BCM\) service update, resulting in a constantly illuminated brake fluid level warning light that can conceal a low brake fluid condition.


## What can happen

An undetected low brake fluid condition can lead to a loss of braking function, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the body control module \(BCM\) software, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed July 12, 2024.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 24S43.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
