Ford Recalls Over 67,000 Mustangs Over a Wiper Motor Chip That Can Fail in Cold Weather
A faulty chip can leave the wipers stuck on high speed and drain washer fluid, part of a wider 110,626-vehicle recall action across two separate Mustang campaigns.
Ford is recalling 110,626 Mustangs across two separate campaigns, the larger of which covers 67,842 Mustang and Mustang GTD models over a wiper motor chip defect. In cold temperatures, the chip can fail in a way that leaves the wipers stuck running on their high-speed setting — which in turn can drain the washer fluid system, reducing visibility in exactly the wet, cold conditions where working wipers matter most.
It's the latest entry in what's already a record-setting year for Ford recalls: the automaker has issued 50 recalls covering more than 11.27 million vehicles industry-wide so far in 2026, after finishing 2025 with 153 recalls affecting nearly 13 million vehicles — more than double the total of General Motors, the previous annual record holder.
The Mustang wiper recall follows a pattern of Ford catching software and component-chip defects across its lineup rather than one-off mechanical failures, and it lands the same year Stellantis issued its own high-profile Jeep recalls — 11,980 Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer L SUVs over a brake-system software fault, on top of more than a million Wrangler and Gladiator trucks recalled in June for a power-steering wiring defect linked to fire risk. Owners of affected Mustangs should expect first-class mail notification from Ford with instructions for a free dealer repair.
Ford Is Recalling 86,543 Mach-Es Because a Faster Jig Didn't Let the Glue Cure
The rear side quarter window trim on 2023–2025 Mustang Mach-Es can work loose and come off in traffic. Ford traced it to a supplier fixture that cut the installation time — and, with it, the primer's cure time.
Ford Reportedly Showed Dealers a Four-Door Mustang
At a dealer meeting in Las Vegas, Ford is said to have put an image of a Mustang sedan on the screen — gas-powered, possibly hybrid, aimed at the Charger, and due before the decade is out.
1.27 Million Ram 1500s Recalled Because the Rear Seat Belt Anchors May Never Have Been Attached
Eight model years of Ram's best-selling truck may have second-row buckle anchors that were never properly secured to the body. Until a dealer looks, Stellantis says move rear passengers to the far side.
