Ford's Latest Recall Goes Far Beyond Just the Mustang Muscle Car

Ford’s latest recall expands well beyond the Mustang, highlighting a broader increase in recalls during 2026. The article says the company is dealing with a large recall affecting 67,842 Mustangs from 2024 to 2026, including the high-performance Mustang GTD. It links the issue to cold temperatures of 32°F or lower, when the wiper motor may lose communication with the steering column module, leaving wipers usable only at a higher speed and disabling the washer system. The root cause is described as a supplier mix-up: a printed circuit board assembly with a 32-kilobyte programming setting for a 16-kilobyte chip. Separately, the Mustang Mach-E recall involves a potential rear differential pinion shaft fracture that could cause loss of power or vehicle movement while in Park, first identified on a 2023 model.
