Ford Recalls nearly 149,000 Mustang for Wiring issues could cause Loss of Power

DETROIT, MI. (Pain In The Pass) >> Ford Motor Company has recalled 148,663 vehicles in the U.S. due to a loss of driver power, loss of headlight function or windshield washing system function, which can reduce visibility, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on last week.

The recall covers 2024-26 Mustang vehicles. The U.S. auto safety regulator said the engine compartment wiring harness ground connections could cause a loss of drive power or disable functions including the windshield washer system, headlights, air conditioning and engine cooling fan, raising the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the engine compartment wiring harness ground terminals, free of charge, according to NHTSA.

Ford also issued other recall. Owners of more than 10,000 2026 Explorer, Bronco, Bronco Sport, Mustang and Ranger vehicles are being alerted because their engine piston domes may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can result in their failure and lead to a loss of drive power, risking a crash.

Although manufacturers can make every effort to notify affected customers about recalls, it’s not always possible. So, if you want to check if your vehicle has an active recall, sometimes you need to do it yourself. Checking for a new or old recalls on your vehicle is easier than you think. Enter your vehicles VIN number at NHTSA Recall Site or CheckTopProtect.org to see if your vehicle has a open recall.
