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

Sept 1 — 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.
