Ford to recall over 110,000 US vehicles over wiper, pinion shaft issues, NHTSA says

(Reuters) – Ford is recalling 110,626 Mustang vehicles in the U.S. ​in two separate recalls over ‌malfunctioning windshield wipers and a rear differential pinion shaft that may ​fracture, the U.S. National ​Highway Traffic Safety Administration said ⁠on Tuesday.

  • Ford will recall 67,842 ​Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles ​because in certain cold temperature conditions, the windshield wipers may function only ​at their high-speed setting and ​the washing system may fail to function ‌properly, ⁠NHTSA said.
  • Separately, Ford is recalling 42,784 Mustang Mach-E vehicles because the rear differential pinion ​shaft may ​fracture, ⁠resulting in loss of drive power or unintended ​movement if the vehicle ​is ⁠parked without the parking brake applied.
  • Dealers will repair or replace ⁠the ​damaged parts free ​of charge, NHTSA added.
