New recall: water intrusion into BCM and connectors (25C43/25V546)

[LouG]

It’s a good sign. This car really makes me want to drive more as well.

Sure my 06 GT was cool and fun, but it was lowered and that stiff buckboard ride got old. Still can’t believe I drove the same car for 17 years. That’s a record by a long shot for me.

That's amazing, my record was 12 years with an MX5. Mind you, the gearbox was the only original mechanical part left.

Don't get the car wet is the most stupid advice ever. How the hell can a car owner prevent the car from not getting wet?

This advice is only possible for people who buy cars and store them in a garage, not for people who bought this car to drive it.

This is a car ladies and gentleman, not a TV.

Cars drive outside on public roads. Cars get parked outside at the grocerie store, work parking place or other places where there are no garages. And there is also something called weather we can't control. And sometimes car owners also wash their car.

How in the hell can somebody say "don't get your car wet"

I just received my Recall letter from Ford two days ago.
I get my GT Mustang wash probably twice a week.
How does Water get into the BCM?
I always drive the GT outdoors..
I can't be the only one?
Somethings just don’t make any sense to me anymore.

Would you mind posting the letter for us to see?

The recall doesn't guarantee you have an existing problem. Just that is a possibility.... and they have a way to minimize that possibility.

The remedy is anticipated to be available 1ST quarter of 2026.


Mine is a 2025MY Job-1 GT 400a

I ordered my 2025 Dark Horse with the handling package back in November 2024 and it took almost ten months for it to get delivered to the dealer. It finally arrived last week, but now, I can’t close the deal and take possession due to this recall. So, it is sitting at the dealer’s parking lot and apparently it will be sitting there for another six months. The dealer lets me come to visit it, touch it, caress it, sit in it, turn over the engine, rev it a little, but won’t let me drive it. It feels like having conjugal visits in a prison. This sux.

I hope Ford gives those of us in this position some sort of consideration

Promise you they do not care. We are basically told to kick rocks.

That’s really frustrating. Watch them come out with 0% for 72 months or something stupid only on the Mustang GT in September only for the marketing / advertising knowing they won’t have to honor it cause nobody can sell them

Honestly, ring up the Customer Relationship Center and complain. Loudly.

The "parts" my car needed had been essentially seam sealer. For all of my troubles I did get consideration in the end but the situation was a bit different. They may give you something to either go away or magically find a way to complete the recall.

What exactly was the consideration you got? If you don’t mind me asking

Ended up being a 48k/2 year Ford corporate branded maintenance plan. Originally tried for something else but the CRC dropped the ball a number of times and only gave a final denial on the initial ask after 11 phone calls. Not a typo.

My 08 was pretty solid too. Replaced the alternator and had to fix and AC vent mechanism under the dash. That was it.

This same information probably word for word is in the FordPass app.
