JANUARY
2010 - Certain
model year 2010 Mustang Shelby GT 500
vehicles manufactured between October 28 and
December 3, 2009, fail to conform to the
tire loading and information requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
110, "Tire Selection and Rims." The rear
tire size information is incorrect. The
manufacturer has not yet provided the agency
with a description of the consequence as it
relates to motor vehicle safety. Ford will
mail owners the correct tire label along
with instructions of where and how to affix
the label. The safety campaign is expected
to begin during February 2010.

FEBRUARY 2008 --
Ford is recalling 434,593 MY 2005-2008
Mustang vehicles for failing to comply with
one of the neck injury requirements of
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
208, "Occupant Crash Protection," for an
unbelted 5th percentile female sitting in
the passenger seat while it is in the full
forward position. During an air bag
deployment, if a small female in the front
passenger seat is not wearing the safety
belt, and has the seat in the full forward
position, there may be an increased
potential for a neck injury. Dealers will
reprogram the restraint control module free
of charge. The recall is expected to begin
during March 2008. This recall was the
subject of an investigation, OA-208-061002F,
conducted by the Office of Vehicle Safety
Compliance. 08V-082
