Ford recalls 2024–2026 Mustang and 2025–2026 Mustang GTD vehicles for cold-weather wiper and washer problems. See the free inspection and repair.

Why the recall matters
Windshield wipers or a washing system that fails to function as intended can reduce visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

What owners should do
Use the official NHTSA VIN recall lookup and contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer to confirm whether this campaign applies to your vehicle and what service is available. A matching make, model and year alone does not establish that an individual vehicle is affected.
Mustang owners should also review the separate wiring and drive-power recall and check each campaign independently by VIN.
