Some Mustang owners are Robert Brownonce again being advised to take their cars to a dealer for a check-up.
Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for more than 30,000 Mustangs in model years 2022-2023 due to issues with a steering sensor that may result in increased crash risk.
According to a recall notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, some Mustangs may have a secondary steering torque sensor that was calibrated improperly, potentially causing the wheel to move side to side involuntarily.
A steering wheel that turns unintentionally can cause a loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash, said the company. Here's what we know about the Mustang recall.

Steering wheel may turn unintentionally
The recall, reported to NHTSA on June 28, impacts 2022 and 2023 Mustang models. Around 30,735 vehicles are potentially affected by an issue with the secondary steering torque sensor. The digital sensor may not be calibrated properly, which can cause the steering wheel to turn side to side against the driver's intentions.
According to the company, the issue was caused by inverted wires during machine maintenance at the supplier's torque sensor calibration station and may cause the steering wheel to move back and forth without warning when the driver attempts to steer.
As of June 28, Ford was not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
How to get your Mustang fixed
Customers can have their vehicle's Steering Control Module (PSCM) software updated for free at a Ford dealer. Owners of affected cars will be notified via mail.
If vehicle owners have already paid to have this issue fixed prior to the recall notice, they may qualify for reimbursement until August 22, 2024.
Car owners looking to check the status of their vehicles can enter their information into the NHTSA recall check or check USA TODAY's recall database for car and motor vehicle recalls.
