Default 2020 Ford Mustang Recalled Because Brake Pedals Might Snap

Ford started using the defective brake pedal assembly on 4th March 2019, and halted doing so on 13th August 2020.
The affected Mustangs aren't identified by VIN, but they are assembled for the 2020 model year. Fortunately, Ford said that it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this defect.

Over 38,000 are potentially affected, some maybe shipped to Australia.

It's just a quick change of the brake pedal bracket on the automatics, they changed the materia
l to polypropylene but didn't engineer it sufficiently for the change of material.

They want to save every peny they can while building cars these days.
It will cost them more now to get those vehicles back and change them for free.
