Recall 15V339 affects 19,095 2015 Ford Mustang vehicles with 2.3L engines for heat-damaged fuel and parking-brake parts. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 19,095 2015 Mustang vehicles with 2.3L engines because elevated underbody heat can degrade the fuel tank, fuel vapor lines, and parking brake cable seals. A fuel leak near an ignition source raises fire risk, reduced parking brake function raises injury risk from unexpected movement, and Ford dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The fuel tank on the 2015 Ford Mustang with the 2.3L engine stores gasoline under the rear of the car. Fuel vapor lines carry gasoline vapors away from the tank as part of the evaporative emissions system, and parking brake cable seals help keep heat, dirt, and moisture away from the cable so the parking brake operates normally.
On affected Mustangs, parts under the body are exposed to temperatures above Ford's design limit. Long exposure to that heat degrades the fuel tank, the vapor lines, or both. Once those materials break down, fuel leaks from the tank area. The same heat exposure also damages the seals around the parking brake cable, which affects parking brake operation.
Owners can see a malfunction indicator lamp on the dash. A fuel smell or visible liquid fuel near the vehicle is also a warning sign.

What's the safety risk?
A fuel leak near an ignition source increases the risk of a vehicle fire. Reduced parking brake function can also let the vehicle move unexpectedly, increasing injury risk. Watch for a malfunction indicator lamp, fuel odor, or visible liquid fuel, and schedule the recall repair soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Ford Mustang with a 2.3L engine is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free fuel-tank shield, thermal patch, vapor-line wrap, and parking-brake cable repair.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 15V339 and Ford recall 15S19 when you call.
- Avoid extra underbody heat exposure until the repair is complete, and contact the dealer promptly if you notice fuel odor or parking brake problems.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician replaces the fuel tank shield, adds thermal patches to the fuel tank and parking brake cable, and adds thermal wraps to the fuel vapor lines. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Ford is not offering a separate reimbursement program for this campaign because the original warranty program provides a free repair for this concern. If you already paid for related work, ask the service desk how the original warranty applies to that prior repair.
