Brake Problem Spurs Ford Mustang Recall

Ford Motor Co. said it will recall about 430,000 Ford Mustangs dating to 1994 because of a parking brake problem. The recall will affect model years 1994 to 2001 with manual transmissions. A Ford spokesman said the parking brake can sometimes slip, causing the car to move. He said he company isn’t aware of any accidents or injuries connected to the brake. The spokesman said Ford will send letters to Mustang owners notifying them of the recall and what procedure to follow to get the car repaired in late November. Until repairs are made, Ford said owners should engage the brake and put the car in first gear when parking.
