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.

If your Mustang has developed persistent problems despite repair attempts, The Lemon Firm can help you assess whether you may have a claim. Our team understands the challenges consumers can face when dealing with major manufacturers and can review your circumstances to help identify the legal remedies that may be available, so speak with a case analyst today to take the next step.

Ford is recalling 565,691 Bronco and Bronco Raptor SUVs after discovering that wiring inside the engine compartment may become damaged, creating a short circuit and potentially causing a fire. The recall affects vehicles from the 2021-2026 model years, with Ford identifying 15 incidents potentially linked to the defect.

What is the problem?

The issue centers on the engine compartment wiring harness, which may not have enough protection against rubbing against nearby components. Over time, this contact can wear through the harness covering and expose the wires inside, and if the exposed wiring short-circuits, it can generate enough heat or a spark to ignite a fire in the engine compartment. Drivers may receive a warning message on the dashboard or notice smoke coming through the vehicle’s air vents before flames develop.

Ford has identified 15 incidents in which a fire may have originated from the affected wiring harness. The incidents occurred between October 2024 and June 2026, and the manufacturer has not reported any crashes or injuries associated with the defect. The recall covers 2021-2026 Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor models, and Ford estimates that approximately 1% of the recalled vehicles are likely to contain the defect.

What owners should do

Owners of affected Broncos should check their VIN through the NHTSA recall database to determine whether their vehicle is included. Recall notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning August 24, 2026.

Ford dealers will inspect the wiring harness and install protective sheathing and abrasion tape at no cost to owners. Drivers who notice smoke, unusual smells, or warning messages should take the issue seriously and arrange for their vehicle to be inspected.

How Ford owners can take back control

A potential engine fire is a serious concern, particularly when the underlying problem involves a component that can deteriorate gradually without being obvious to the driver. Owners who have already experienced electrical problems, warning messages or repeated dealership visits may also be left wondering whether their vehicle has been properly addressed.

If your Ford has developed recurring faults or you have faced significant disruption because of an unresolved defect, The Lemon Firm can help you look at the bigger picture. Our team can review your vehicle’s repair history and explain whether you may have a potential claim or other legal remedy.

Ford is recalling more than 179,000 Bronco and Ranger vehicles in the United States after identifying a defect involving seat securing bolts that may not have been properly tightened or installed, potentially leaving occupants vulnerable to increased movement or reduced protection in the event of a crash.

What is the problem?

The recall affects certain Ford Bronco and Ford Ranger models manufactured between 2024 and 2026, where the front seat mounting hardware may not meet the required specifications. In affected vehicles, one or more seat bolts may be loose, improperly fastened, or otherwise unable to maintain full structural integrity under impact conditions.

If a seat is not securely anchored, it may shift during sudden braking or a collision, which can compromise the effectiveness of seatbelts and other restraint systems. This increases the risk of injury, particularly in higher-impact crashes where a stable seating position is critical for occupant safety.

Ford initiated the recall after discovering that some vehicles may have left the production or repair process without seat fasteners properly secured. While the company has not reported widespread injuries linked to the issue, it has acknowledged the potential safety risk and taken proactive steps to address it.

What owners should do

Owners of affected vehicles are being encouraged to look out for official recall notifications from Ford and confirm whether their vehicle is included by checking their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) database.

Dealers will inspect the seat mounting hardware and tighten or replace any components that do not meet specification, free of charge. In many cases, repairs are expected to be relatively quick, but owners should still schedule service as soon as possible once contacted. Drivers should also remain attentive to any unusual seat movement or looseness and report concerns to a Ford dealership promptly.

How Ford owners can take back control

Safety-related recalls can be disruptive, particularly when they involve core structural components of a vehicle. Even when repairs are offered at no cost, repeated defects or uncertainty about vehicle reliability can leave owners frustrated and unsure about what steps to take next.

If recurring vehicle issues or unresolved safety concerns are affecting your ownership experience, you don’t have to work through the process on your own. The Lemon Firm can review your situation, explain your options, and help determine whether your vehicle may qualify for further action or potential compensation.

Ford is facing a proposed class action lawsuit over claims that a recent battery recall for certain Bronco Sport and Maverick models does not adequately address an underlying defect that can cause sudden power loss and vehicle stalling. Plaintiffs allege that owners remain at risk despite the manufacturer’s recall efforts.

What is the problem?

The lawsuit focuses on certain 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport SUVs and 2022-2023 Ford Maverick pickups equipped with 12-volt batteries manufactured by Camel Group. According to the complaint, the batteries contain internal components that are prone to failure, which can lead to battery degradation, loss of electrical power, and unexpected stalling.

Plaintiffs argue that the defect can leave drivers unable to restart their vehicles or cause them to lose motive power while driving, increasing the risk of a collision. The lawsuit also claims that Ford’s January 2025 recall, which affected approximately 273,000 vehicles, does not fully resolve the root cause of the issue. According to the complaint, the recall measures are inadequate because they fail to address the alleged physical weaknesses within the battery itself, potentially leaving owners vulnerable to repeat failures.

What owners should do

Owners of affected Bronco Sport and Maverick models should monitor recall notices and check whether their vehicle is included by searching their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) database.

Drivers who have experienced repeated dead batteries, warning messages, difficulty restarting, or unexpected stalling should also keep detailed records of repair visits, battery replacements, towing expenses, and communications with Ford. These documents may prove useful if problems continue or additional remedies become available.

How Ford owners can take back control

Battery defects can be especially frustrating because they often appear intermittently, making it difficult for drivers to predict when another failure may occur. Repeated power loss concerns and multiple dealership visits can quickly erode confidence in a vehicle’s reliability.

If your Ford has suffered from recurring battery failures, stalling incidents, or unresolved electrical issues, it may be worth understanding what rights and remedies could be available to you. The Lemon Firm assists consumers dealing with persistent vehicle defects and can help evaluate whether your situation may warrant further action.

Ford is recalling more than 255,000 Ford Focus vehicles in the United States after discovering that a previous repair may not have been completed correctly, leaving drivers vulnerable to an issue that can cause the engine to stall while the vehicle is in motion.

What is the problem?

The recall affects Ford Focus sedans and hatchbacks from model years 2012 through 2018, and involves the canister purge valve, which may malfunction, leading to an unexpected loss of engine power. Having an engine stall while driving is incredibly dangerous and significantly increases the risk of a crash, making it a major issue for drivers. 

This is not the first time Ford has issued a recall for this concern, but the manufacturer has now determined that some vehicles may not have received the proper software update and may remain susceptible to the defect. Drivers may notice warning signs before a failure occurs. The check engine light could illuminate, and some owners may experience inaccurate fuel gauge readings. In some cases, the vehicle may hesitate, stall, or fail to restart after losing power.

The automaker has assigned this campaign recall number 26S40, while the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has designated it as recall number 26V369.

What owners should do

To address the issue, Ford dealers will update the powertrain control module software at no cost to owners. Letters are already beginning to be mailed out to owners, while affected vehicle identification numbers can also be searched through the NHTSA recall database.

Any drivers who receive a letter or who find their vehicle listed on the NHTSA database should schedule the repair as swiftly as possible and ensure they do not ignore any warning lights or changes in vehicle performance. 

How Ford owners can take back control 

While Ford is providing a free software update to address this recall, some drivers may continue to experience ongoing issues or feel unhappy with the solutions being offered. If your Ford has spent more time in the repair shop than on the road, exploring your legal options can make a significant difference when dealing with persistent vehicle defects.

Recall Overview

Ford has already issued 18 recalls in 2026, affecting more than 7.3 million vehicles in the United States, according to industry reports and filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This follows a record-breaking 2025, where the automaker issued 153 recalls impacting nearly 13 million vehicles—the highest ever recorded for a single manufacturer.

While the number of recalls so far in 2026 is lower, the total number of vehicles affected is already significant, highlighting ongoing concerns around quality control and safety.

What Is the Problem?

The recalls issued this year span a wide range of issues, including software faults, electrical failures, and component defects. One of the largest recalls affects approximately 4.4 million Ford trucks, including F-Series models, due to a software issue that can disable trailer brake lights and turn signals.

Other recalls involve defects such as engine block heater failures, which can increase the risk of fire, and additional system faults that may impact vehicle performance and safety.

These issues vary in severity, but many relate to critical systems that could increase the risk of accidents if left unaddressed.

What Owners Should Do

Ford is addressing many of these issues through over-the-air (OTA) software updates, while others require in-person dealership repairs. All recall-related fixes are being provided free of charge.

Owners are encouraged to regularly check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through the NHTSA recall database to determine whether their vehicle is affected by any current recalls.

Drivers should also pay attention to any warning lights, system alerts, or unusual vehicle behavior and schedule a service appointment promptly if issues arise.

How Ford Owners Can Take Back Control

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Recall Overview

Ford has issued a major safety recall affecting 272,645 vehicles in the United States due to a defect that could cause vehicles to roll away unexpectedly. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue impacts several popular models, including the F-150 Lightning, Mustang Mach-E, and Maverick.

The recall covers certain model years ranging from 2022 through 2026 and addresses a fault within the vehicle’s parking system that may prevent it from properly engaging when placed in “Park.”

What Is the Problem?

The defect involves the integrated park module, a key component responsible for locking the vehicle in place when shifted into park. In affected vehicles, the module may fail to engage correctly due to a software-related issue.

If this occurs, the vehicle may not remain stationary and could roll away after being parked, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. While a warning light may illuminate to alert the driver, it may take a few seconds after shifting into park for the system to detect and display the issue.

Because rollaway incidents can happen without immediate warning, this defect is considered a serious safety concern.

What Owners Should Do

Ford will resolve the issue with a software update that can be installed either over the air or at a dealership, free of charge. This update is designed to ensure the integrated park module functions correctly.

Interim owner notification letters are expected to be mailed starting February 2, 2026, with additional communication to follow once the final remedy is fully implemented. Owners can also check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA website beginning January 26 to confirm whether their vehicle is affected.

In the meantime, drivers are advised to ensure their vehicle is securely parked and to watch for any warning indicators.

Recall Overview

Ford has issued a major safety recall affecting more than 410,000 vehicles in the United States due to a defect in the rear suspension system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the recall impacts 412,774 model year 2017–2019 Ford Explorer SUVs.

The issue involves a component within the rear suspension that may fracture, potentially leading to a loss of vehicle control and increasing the risk of a crash. While no injuries have been reported so far, the defect is considered a serious safety concern.

What Is the Problem?

The recall centers on the rear link toe suspension, which plays a key role in maintaining proper wheel alignment and vehicle stability. In affected vehicles, this component may fracture due to stress over time.

If the rear suspension link breaks, it can significantly affect steering and handling, making the vehicle more difficult to control. In severe cases, this could lead to a sudden loss of steering stability, particularly at higher speeds or during turns.

Because the issue can develop without clear warning signs, Ford has issued the recall as a preventative safety measure.

What Owners Should Do

Ford dealers will inspect the rear suspension components and replace the rear toe link as necessary, free of charge. This repair is designed to restore proper vehicle handling and eliminate the risk associated with the defect.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed between March 9 and March 13, 2026. In the meantime, owners can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through the NHTSA recall database to confirm whether their vehicle is affected.

Drivers who notice unusual handling or suspension noise should arrange an inspection as soon as possible.
