The new recall adds to hundreds of thousands of vehicles Ford has already recalled in 2026 for faulty wipers, although previous recalls are unrelated to this one. The Ford Mustang recall includes everything from the standard EcoBoost variant to the extreme Mustang GTD, which has a base price of over $300,000.Ford Mustang Windshield Wiper Recall2026 Ford Mustang GTDFordAccording to the recall report filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the vehicle's wiper motor may malfunction at temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less, which could hinder visibility and increase the risk of a crash.AdvertisementAdvertisement"In cold temperatures of 0 degrees Celsius or less, the vehicle's wiper motor may lose Local Interconnect Network (LIN) communication with the vehicle's steering column control module," states the recall report. "As a result of this communication loss, customers may experience front windshield wipers that only operate at their high-speed setting and an inoperable windshield washing system in these cold temperatures."2026 Ford MustangFordFord says the supplier of a semiconductor chip used for the wiper motor erroneously used the wrong equipment setting, which causes the issue.
