What This Recall Means

Component

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER:MOTOR

What Happened

The wiper motor in your Mustang is the part that controls the speed of your windshield wipers and the operation of your car's washing system. In some 2024-2026 models, this motor might not work properly in cold temperatures.

Risk if Unfixed

If your wipers only work at their highest speed or the washing system doesn't work, it could be harder to see the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Ford dealer will inspect and replace the wiper motor if it's faulty, at no cost to you. Just schedule the repair when you get the recall notice, which has already been mailed for some owners.
