An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger cars (Ford Mustang) - Repair. Defect in lighting equipment (brake lights). ■ Defective component: Lighting equipment (brake lights). ■ Noncompliant condition and cause: The rubber brake pedal bumper has insufficient durability because its material is unsuitable. Deterioration during use may therefore cause the bumper to break and fall off. If this happens, the brake lights remain illuminated. The engine can also be started and the transmission shifted out of Park without depressing the brake pedal, potentially causing unintended vehicle movement and, in the worst case, an accident. Published 2022-11-25.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 外-3516 ■ Corrective measures: Replace the brake pedal bumper with an improved part on all vehicles.
