Ford is recalling 2024-2026 Mustang models due to wiper motor failure in cold weather, which can reduce visibility and increase crash risk. Owners should contact Ford for free repairs.
Windshield wipers or a washing system that fails to function as intended can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain 2024-2026 Mustang and 2025-2026 Mustang GTD vehicles because their windshield wipers may only work at high speed and washing systems may fail in cold weather, increasing crash risk. This affects vehicles sold between 2024 and 2026.
In cold temperatures, the windshield wipers may only operate at high speed, and the washing system may stop working entirely. This reduces visibility during rain or snow, increasing the chance of a crash.
Owners of 2024-2026 Mustang and 2025-2026 Mustang GTD vehicles are affected. Drivers in cold weather conditions are most at risk due to potential wiper and washing system failures.
