Over 110,000 Mustangs Recalled by Ford for Wiper and Drivetrain Issues

Ford has issued a recall affecting more than 110,000 Mustang models, citing two separate defects that could compromise safety and performance. The recall covers certain 2022 through 2024 model year vehicles, with problems ranging from faulty windshield wipers to potential drivetrain failures.

Owners should expect official notifications starting next month.

The first issue involves the vehicle’s windshield wiper system. In affected Mustangs, the wiper arms may loosen over time, reducing their ability to clear the windshield effectively. If the arms detach entirely, it could severely limit a driver’s visibility during rain or snow, increasing the risk of a crash.

Ford is advising owners to watch for unusual wiper movement or noise.

The second defect concerns the drivetrain, specifically a potential failure in the rear axle bolts. These bolts can snap under stress, leading to a loss of power or even a sudden lockup of the rear wheels. Either scenario poses a serious safety hazard, especially at highway speeds.

Dealers will inspect and replace the bolts and wiper components at no cost to customers. Mustang owners with questions can contact Ford’s customer service line or visit their local dealer for more details.
