Structure Mar 2019
The tabs on the sides of the front bumper have broken off. In the event of an accident there would be less restraint from the bumper because it is not secured on properly. I have seen and heard of many people with this year and model having the same problem

Backup camera is showing not available on a 2017 ford mustang with no remedies for 8 years
