Here are some details:
- The recall covers 2024-2026 Mustang vehicles.
- The U.S. auto safety regulator said the engine compartment wiring harness ground connections could cause a loss of drive power or disable functions including the windshield washer system, headlights, air conditioning and engine cooling fan, raising the risk of a crash.
- The dealers will replace the engine compartment wiring harness ground terminals, free of charge, according to the NHTSA.
- In June, Ford recalled 91,198 U.S. vehicles because the daytime running lamps do not dim, reducing other drivers’ visibility and increasing crash risk.
