Ford Mustang recall affects nearly 150,000 vehicles

Key Points:

• Nearly 150,000 Ford Mustang vehicles from model years 2024 to 2026 are being recalled due to a defect that can cause sudden engine power loss and stalling, increasing the risk of crashes.
• The issue stems from fractured engine compartment wiring harness ground connections caused by hardened adhesive affecting metal eyelets, which can lead to the failure of critical systems like headlights, windshield washers, air conditioning, and engine cooling fans.
• Approximately 1% of the recalled vehicles are estimated to have the defect, with eight warranty claims reported but no accidents or injuries linked to the issue so far.
• Ford will replace the faulty terminals with redesigned, stronger metal parts free of charge, with repairs expected to be fully available by March 2027; owners will be notified starting late August 2026.
• Vehicle owners can verify if their Mustang is affected by contacting Ford Customer Service, visiting a dealer, or using the NHTSA website with their vehicle identification number (VIN).
