Image Credit: Ford.Ford has announced two separate safety recalls affecting more than 110,000 Mustang-branded vehicles across the United States. The campaigns cover both the gas-powered Mustang coupe and the all-electric Mustang Mach-E, although the defects are unrelated.The larger recall involves 67,842 Mustang models from the 2024 through 2026 model years, including the high-performance Mustang GTD. A software-related issue can cause the windshield wipers to malfunction during freezing temperatures, potentially reducing visibility in poor weather.A second recall affects 42,784 Mustang Mach-E electric crossovers because of a potential failure inside the rear differential. If the problem occurs, the vehicle could lose drive power or move unexpectedly while parked if the parking brake is not engaged.AdvertisementAdvertisementBoth recalls were filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and Ford says repairs will be carried out free of charge. The company has not reported any crashes or injuries linked to either defect.Mustang Wiper Issue Appears In Freezing TemperaturesImage Credit: Ford Newsroom Gallery.The first recall focuses on certain 2024-2026 Mustang models equipped with windshield wiper motors that may not function correctly in cold weather. According to Ford, the issue can occur when temperatures fall to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or below.When the fault develops, the wiper motor can lose communication with the steering column control module. As a result, the wipers may only operate at their highest speed while the windshield washer system becomes completely inoperative.Ford traced the problem to a supplier programming mistake during production. Engineers found that a circuit board intended for a 16-kilobyte memory chip was incorrectly programmed using software designed for a 32-kilobyte chip, creating a mismatch that can interfere with normal operation.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe automaker first identified the issue in January 2026 after technicians at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant investigated a 2026 Mustang displaying abnormal windshield wiper behavior. Ford says it has since received 35 warranty claims related to the defect but is unaware of any crashes or injuries.Dealers will inspect the affected vehicles and replace the windshield wiper motor if it fails testing. Owners do not need to pay for the repair.Mach-E Recall Targets Rear Differential FailureImage Credit: Ford.The second recall affects certain Mustang Mach-E electric crossovers equipped with rear differential pinion shafts that may fracture over time. Ford says the component can fail because of bending fatigue, resulting in a loss of propulsion.A failed pinion shaft may also allow the vehicle to move unexpectedly while in Park unless the parking brake has been applied. Drivers could also see warning lights or diagnostic trouble codes before a failure occurs.AdvertisementAdvertisementFord's investigation began in March 2026 after engineers examined a failed rear differential from a European-market Mustang Mach-E. Additional testing uncovered six more failed pinion shafts that showed similar fatigue damage.Working alongside its supplier, Ford also identified inconsistencies in the hardness of the affected components. Although the company has not confirmed the precise root cause, it has developed an updated rear differential assembly featuring a stronger pinion shaft.Ford says it has received 62 warranty claims connected to the issue but has no reports of crashes or injuries. Dealers will repair or replace the rear differential assembly using the improved components.Owners Will Receive Recall NotificationsFord will notify affected owners by mail with instructions on scheduling repairs at authorized dealerships. Both recall repairs will be completed free of charge.AdvertisementAdvertisementOwners of affected Mustang models will have their windshield wiper motors inspected and replaced if necessary. Mustang Mach-E owners will receive an updated rear differential assembly designed to eliminate the pinion shaft defect.Another Busy Year For Ford Safety CampaignsThese latest recalls add to an already active year for Ford's safety campaigns. The automaker has issued dozens of recalls during 2026 as it continues to address defects across multiple vehicle lines.While neither of these recalls has been linked to accidents or injuries, they underscore the importance of addressing potential safety issues before they lead to more serious problems. Owners are encouraged to check whether their vehicle is included in either recall and arrange repairs as soon as parts become available.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
