[^1]\n\nFord Motor Company announced on September 1, 2026, that it is recalling 148,663 Ford Mustang vehicles due to a defect in the electrical system. [^2]\n\nFord announced a recall covering 148,663 Mustangs built between September 7, 2022, and June 9, 2026. [^3]\n\nIn June 2026, Ford previously recalled 91,198 vehicles in the United States due to problems with headlights. [^4]\n\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed the recall decision based on reports of engine problems and risks of disconnection for the windshield washer system, headlights, and air conditioning. [^5]\n\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated that the electrical wiring defect could cause the vehicle to lose propulsion or interrupt systems such as headlights, windshield wipers, air conditioning, or the engine cooling fan. [^6]\n\nThe recalled vehicles are Ford Mustangs from the 2024 to 2026 model years, manufactured between September 7, 2022, and June 9, 2026. [^7]\n\nFord plans to notify Mustang owners by mail and advise them to visit a Ford or Lincoln dealership to replace the four ground terminals with revised standoff eyelet pigtails. [^8]\n\nFord stated that heat shrink can break engine compartment ground eyelets, leading to a loss of motive power, headlight or engine fan failure, loss of air conditioning, and windshield wiper fluid pump failure. [^9]\n\nThe National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report identified the recall as covering model years 2024 through 2026. [^10]\n\nFord decided in early August 2026 to change its production approach, shifting focus from mass-market sedans to producing luxury SUVs to maximize profitability.
