Ford is recalling more than 110,000 Mustang vehicles in the United States after identifying separate defects that could affect visibility and drivetrain performance. The campaigns cover both petrol-powered Mustangs and Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles, with each issue presenting its own potential safety concern.
What is the problem?
One recall affects 67,842 2024-2026 Ford Mustang and 2025-2026 Mustang GTD vehicles. In cold weather, the windshield wipers may operate only at their highest setting, while the windshield washing system may fail to work properly. If the wipers or washer system cannot operate as intended, visibility could be reduced during poor weather and increase the likelihood of a crash.
A separate campaign involves 2021-2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles and affects 42,784 electric SUVs. Ford says the rear differential pinion shaft may develop a fatigue-related fracture. If the shaft breaks, the vehicle could lose drive power, potentially leaving the driver unable to accelerate or move the vehicle as expected.
Although the problems affect different components, both recalls involve systems that can have a direct impact on how safely the vehicle can be driven.
What owners should do
Owners of affected Mustangs and Mustang Mach-E vehicles should check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall database to determine whether their vehicle is included.
Ford dealers will carry out the required repairs free of charge, and owners should arrange the work promptly once notified, particularly if they have already experienced wiper problems, reduced visibility, unusual drivetrain behavior, or a loss of power.
How Mustang owners can take back control
A recall can provide a route to resolving a known defect, but it does not always end the problems for every owner. Repeated faults, lengthy repair visits or a vehicle that continues to experience serious issues can create significant disruption.
