Ford Motor Company Recalls 148,663 Mustangs Due to Wiring Issue
Ford Motor Company is recalling 148,663 Mustang vehicles from the 2024 to 2026 model years due to a significant wiring connection issue.

This defect could lead to a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

Owners of the affected Mustangs were expected to receive notification letters by August 31st.
