Ford has issued a recall affecting 1,048 supercharger kits for the 2024–2025 Mustang, warning that the high-performance upgrade could cause cars to accelerate on their own under certain conditions.

The recall involves Ford’s official supercharger performance kit, designed to boost output on the latest-generation Mustang to around 810 horsepower. The issue, according to Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), lies within the kit’s engine control module (ECM) update. A software malfunction could disable key safety systems responsible for preventing runaway acceleration — a frightening scenario in a vehicle already packing supercar-level power.

In documents filed with regulators, Ford said the glitch may inhibit the car’s computer from cutting power during unintended acceleration events. This means that if the throttle were to stick or a fault occurred in the ECM, the system might fail to intervene as designed.
While no accidents or injuries have been reported, the automaker says affected vehicles should not be driven aggressively or on public roads until repairs are completed. Ford dealers will update or replace the faulty control module software free of charge.
The recall impacts kits installed on both manual and automatic 2024–2025 Mustangs, including the GT and Dark Horse models. Owners who purchased or had the kits installed through Ford Performance or authorized dealers are being notified directly.
Ford has earned a reputation for building Mustangs with staggering power, but this particular issue highlights the delicate balance between performance upgrades and electronic safeguards. The combination of 810 horsepower and a potentially unresponsive control system could have catastrophic results if left unaddressed.
Owners can check recall status using their VIN at NHTSA.gov or contact Ford Performance customer service for more information. Until then, it’s best to keep these wild ponies in the stable.
