Recall on 2025 GT/Order delay [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS]

[chicityboy19]

If you planned on picking up your Mustang soon good luck. They just came out with a recall and don’t anticipate a remedy until Q4 of this year. The recall is for “ FORD 25C39 LIGHT EMITTING DIODE DRIVER CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT”….pretty sure this applies to those trying to purchase one off the dealership lots as well.

I was literally about to get home to take delivery of my car which is already waiting at the dealership.

If it’s a 2026 I don’t think there would be an issue as they would apply whatever remedy to the new vehicles being produced.

Yeah but production is starting in September and if the remedy isn’t until Q4 then I’m gonna be delayed a couple more months atleast. And I already sold my 14 for the down payment :( driving the hoopty thinking it would only be a month or 2

Oh okay I see what you mean. But tell me about this my vehicle is already fully financed and I paid a hefty down payments aswell. This literally sucked the excitement I had of owning this vehicle right out of me

They won’t let you take delivery of it now and just bring it back when the remedy is available? That doesn’t even Makes sense to me. Especially if you’ve already started financing it you’re paying for a vehicle you can’t even touch, are they at least giving you a rental?

It would be different if it was like a couple weeks away or something, but to say all the way until Q4 is quite a bit of time still

They are refusing to let me take delivery of it straight up. Until the remedy is applied which makes sense. Due to is being a safety issue. A rental is not needed this is my second car. I just really wanted to be able to drive it before the weather goes south here since I live in the Midwest. I am just completely SOL due to it being financed already man , this is so discouraging

That sucks man. Sorry to hear
