Why the engine page shows fewer: it counts only the 17 owner complaints and 0 recalls for 2007–2012 that name this engine or a version that only had it. This page counts all 2,348 complaints and 13 recall campaigns NHTSA files under "Mustang" for those years, other engines included.

Known issues

  • No known engine patternOutlet

    CarGurus' buying guide lists no common engine or supercharger failure on these cars. It points to the clutch, gearbox and wheel hop instead.

  • Clutch drag (2007–2009)Maker bulletin

    Heat from stop-and-go driving can warp the flywheel so the twin-disc clutch does not fully release. Shifts get hard and the car can creep in gear.

    Fix: Ford TSB 10-3-8 gives the diagnosis and clutch and flywheel repair.

    14 owner complaints to NHTSA mention it (2007–2012)
  • Clutch and gearbox wear (2010–2012)Outlet

    CarGurus says the original clutch and transmission parts wore out early on 2010–2014 cars and can cause hard shifts.

Known issues

  • Timing chain tensioner (2020)Maker bulletin

    On some 2020 cars built Dec 2019 to Dec 2020, the secondary timing chain tensioner may not have been activated at the factory. That can cause timing loss, misfires and engine damage.

    Fix: Dealers inspect the tensioner free under Ford program 21B26.

    2 owner complaints to NHTSA mention it (2020–2022)
  • Supercharger drive clutchMaker bulletin

    A failed one-way clutch in the supercharger drive pulley can cause a loss of power and a check-engine light (code P1228) on 2020–2021 cars.

    Fix: Ford now sells the supercharger drive as its own part, so the blower can stay.

    5 owner complaints to NHTSA mention it (2020–2022)
  • Valve cover oil leaks (2022)Maker bulletin

    Some 2022 cars can leak oil from the spark plug tube or cam timing solenoid seals.

    Fix: Ford says to replace both valve cover assemblies, not just the seals.
