I read about a recall for parking brakes for 1996 Ford Mustangs with manual. I have an automatic I bought online in January 2007 that has parking break issues it wont keep the car form moving. I had it towed one time and the tow truck driver said it was faulty. Is the recall still available for an automatic?
