🔥 Trending Ford Recalls Over 110,000 Mustang Vehicles for Wiper and Drivetrain Defects

Ford has issued a significant recall affecting over 110,000 Mustang-badged vehicles in the United States due to two distinct safety concerns: malfunctioning windshield wipers and a potential defect in the rear differential pinion shaft ³⁴⁵. These recalls were announced on July 7, 2026, and cover several Mustang models, including the Mustang, Mustang GTD, and Mustang Mach-E ²³.

Details of the Recalls

The recalls address issues identified by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that could increase the risk of a crash ²⁴.

Windshield Wiper Malfunction

The larger of the two recalls impacts 67,842 Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles ⁹¹⁰.

• Affected Models: Certain 2026 model year Ford Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles ³⁹.
• Problem: The windshield wiper motors may be defective ⁶. Specifically, in cold weather conditions, the wipers can become stuck operating at high speed while the washer fluid system ceases to function ⁹. This significantly reduces driver visibility, especially during adverse weather, increasing the risk of a crash ⁷⁹.

Drivetrain Defect (Rear Differential Pinion Shaft)

The second recall targets 42,784 Mustang Mach-E vehicles ⁹.

• Affected Models: Certain 2026 model year Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles ³⁹.
• Problem: The rear differential pinion shaft may fracture ⁴¹⁰. A fractured pinion shaft can lead to a loss of drive power or, in some cases, cause the vehicle to roll away when parked if the parking brake is not engaged ⁵. Both scenarios pose a serious safety risk.

Affected Vehicles

In total, 110,626 vehicles are part of these two recalls in the U.S. ⁴. The specific models involved are:

• Ford Mustang ³
• Ford Mustang GTD ³
• Ford Mustang Mach-E ³

It's important to note that the $300,000 Mustang GTD, a high-performance variant, is also included in the windshield wiper recall ⁶.
