2015 FORD MUSTANGTransport Canada Recall #2015223
Defect
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.3L engine, prolonged exposure to elevated underbody temperatures could cause the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines and/or parking brake cable seals to degrade. This could result in a fuel leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. This could also affect parking brake function, which could result in a rollaway event if the vehicle was left unattended and the parking brake was not applied, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel tank shield, apply thermal patches to the fuel tank, parking brake cable and fuel vapour lines.
