Ford Motor Company is recalling more than 110,000 vehicles in the United States due to two separate safety issues that could increase the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recalls affect certain Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford Mustang and Ford Mustang GTD models. Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by mail and can have the necessary repairs completed at no cost through Ford dealerships.
Affected Models
According to the NHTSA, the following vehicles are included in the recalls:
| Model | Model Years | Vehicles Affected | Recall Number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Mach-E | 2021-2023 | 42,784 | 26V417000 |
| Ford Mustang | 2024-2026 | 67,553 | 26V418000 |
| Ford Mustang GTD | 2025-2026 | 289 | 26V418000 |
In total, the two recalls affect 110,626 vehicles.
Recall Reasons
The recalls involve two different mechanical issues.
The first recall affects 2021-2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles. According to the NHTSA, the rear differential pinion shaft may fracture. If this occurs, the vehicle could lose drive power or move unexpectedly while in the park position if the parking brake is not applied.
The second recall covers 2024-2026 Ford Mustang and 2025-2026 Ford Mustang GTD models. These vehicles may experience problems with the windshield wiper and washer system. In cold temperatures, the windshield wipers may only operate at the high-speed setting, while the washer system may fail to function properly.
Both issues could increase the risk of a crash under certain driving conditions.
What Owners Should Do
Owners of affected 2021-2023 Mustang Mach-E vehicles will be able to take their vehicles to an authorized Ford dealership, where the rear differential assembly will be repaired or replaced free of charge.
Ford expects to mail an initial notification letter to owners on July 13. A follow-up letter will be sent once the repair is available, which is currently expected in December.
For owners of recalled 2024-2026 Ford Mustang and 2025-2026 Mustang GTD vehicles, notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning July 8. Ford plans to send a second letter when the repair becomes available, which is currently expected in March 2027.
How to Check Your Vehicle
Owners who believe their vehicle may be affected can verify whether it is included in the recall by visiting the NHTSA website and searching using:
- Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- License plate number and state
- Vehicle year, make and model
