Ford to recall about 149,000 vehicles in US over power loss, NHTSA says

(Reuters) – Ford Motor is recalling 148,663 vehicles ​in the U.S. due to ‌a loss of driver power and loss of headlight function or windshield ​washing system function, which can ​reduce visibility, the U.S. National Highway ⁠Traffic Safety Administration said on ​Tuesday.

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.
