What's wrong?
The rear brake caliper on the 2015 Ford Mustang is the clamp that holds the brake pads around the rear brake rotor. Guide pins let that caliper slide evenly as the pads squeeze the rotor, so the rear brakes apply straight and release cleanly. The Extreme Duty Half Shafts carry engine power to the rear wheels and sit near this brake hardware.
On affected Mustangs, installers removed the caliper guide pin bolts during half shaft installation even though the work instructions did not call for that step. After the bolts went back in, there was no quality control check confirming they were tightened to the proper torque. A loose guide pin bolt can back out while driving, allowing the rear caliper to move out of position and reducing rear braking ability.
The warning sign listed for this recall is unusual noise from the rear wheels. If you hear new scraping, clunking, or rattling from the rear while driving or braking, treat it as a sign the brake hardware needs inspection.
