What's wrong?
The rear suspension knuckle on the 2024 Mustang is a metal suspension part at the rear wheel. It holds the wheel hub in position and connects the wheel assembly to the suspension links, while the bushing helps control movement as the suspension absorbs bumps and cornering loads.
On affected Mustangs, the knuckle was made with a casting imperfection. During production at the supplier, a debris filter was placed incorrectly, letting slag, waste material from molten metal, enter the mold cavity. That weak spot can allow the knuckle to crack or fracture under normal driving loads, which can reduce vehicle handling and steering control.
There is no warning sign before failure. A driver should not expect a warning light, sound, vibration, or gradual change that gives clear notice before the knuckle fails.
