Ford Australia is recalling 18,840 examples of its Mustang due to an issue with the rear boot lid wiring harness.
This recall affects Mustang models produced between 2014 and 2017.
“A manufacturing defect in the wiring harness of the rear boot lid may cause intermittent operation of the rear-view camera, loss of satellite radio reception, inoperative luggage compartment lamp and/or inoperable luggage compartment release,” said the company in its recall notice.
“If the rear-view camera display does not continually display the rear-view image whilst reversing the vehicle, it could increase the risk of an accident, causing serious injury or death to any persons located behind the vehicle.”
