The 1979 Ford Mustang has two recalls, the more serious being a power steering defect where the steering gear coupling flange can slip on the input shaft, causing reduced or complete loss of steering control.
The second recall affects vehicles equipped with the 5.0-litre (302 cubic inch) engine: the flexible cooling fan can crack at high engine speeds and shed blade fragments that can damage underhood components or injure anyone near the vehicle while the engine is running and the hood is open.
