Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Ford is recalling 110,626 vehicles in the U.S. across two separate safety campaigns involving certain Mustang, Mustang GTD, and Mustang Mach-E models due to defects identified by federal regulators.
- The larger recall affects 67,842 Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles, where windshield wipers may only operate at high speed and the windshield washer system may fail under cold-weather conditions, increasing crash risk due to reduced visibility.
- A separate recall involves 42,784 Mustang Mach-E vehicles with a potential rear differential pinion shaft fracture, which could cause loss of drive power or unintended vehicle movement if parked without the parking brake, raising crash risk.
- Ford dealers will repair or replace the defective components free of charge, addressing both windshield wiper and rear drivetrain issues.
- Despite the recalls, Ford shares remained stable in early trading and have gained over 5% year to date.
