Ford Australia has temporarily stopped sales of a batch of Mustang sports cars after identifying a wiring issue that could affect certain vehicle functions. The company has also issued a voluntary recall covering affected cars already with customers.
A total of 7,724 Mustang coupes and convertibles built between May 2023 and May 2026 are included in the campaign. Almost 500 of those vehicles are currently sitting in dealer stock and cannot be sold until the issue is addressed.
Ford says excess heat-shrink material around a grounding eyelet in the wiring harness may affect some vehicle functions. No related incidents or problems have been reported in Australia so far.
The repair parts are not expected to reach the country until December, meaning affected dealer cars could remain unavailable for several months. Importantly, this is a stop-sale rather than a do-not-drive order. Existing owners can continue using their Mustangs while waiting for the recall repair.
Not every Mustang is affected. Cars built from the beginning of June 2026 are excluded, as are the upcoming Dark Horse and Dark Horse with T8-Spec Pack.
The campaign is also separate from Ford’s August 27 recall covering 4,955 Mustangs over a potential windscreen-wiper malfunction.
