Ford Issues Recall for Mustangs Over Windshield Wiper Malfunction

Ford Motor Company has announced a recall affecting thousands of Mustang models due to a potentially dangerous windshield wiper failure. The issue, which could leave drivers with reduced visibility during rain or snow, stems from a faulty electrical connection in the wiper motor.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the defect may cause the wipers to stop working entirely or operate intermittently, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall covers specific 2021 through 2023 Ford Mustang vehicles equipped with a particular wiper motor assembly. Ford says the problem originates from a manufacturing error in the motor’s circuit board, which can short out over time. Owners may notice the wipers moving slower than normal, stopping mid-cycle, or failing to respond when activated.

The automaker has received several reports of the issue but no confirmed injuries or accidents linked to the defect.
