Ford Recalls 67,553 Mustangs Over Faulty Wiper Module, With Fix Delayed Until March 2027

3 articles · Updated · CarBuzz · Jul 7

Summary

  • 67,553 model-year 2024-2026 Mustangs — including 289 2025 Mustang GTDs — are being recalled because the wiper motor can lose communication with its control module.
  • At 0C, the defect can leave wipers working only at the highest speed and disable washer jets; Ford traced it to a supplier sending the wrong microchip, with 16kb hardware programmed for 32kb architecture.
  • Ford said owner letters start July 8, dealers will inspect and replace affected wiper motors if needed, and no crashes or injuries tied to the issue are known.
  • March 2027 is the target for notifying owners that a remedy is available, leaving recalled new inventory hard to sell and adding to Ford's broader run of Mustang and Mach-E safety recalls.
