Ford is recalling more than 110,000 vehicles in the US across two separate safety campaigns after federal regulators identified defects involving windshield wipers and a rear drivetrain component that could increase crash risks.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the automaker is recalling 110,626 vehicles in two separate actions affecting certain Mustang, Mustang GTD and Mustang Mach-E models.
The larger recall affects 67,842 Mustang and Mustang GTD vehicles.
NHTSA said that under certain cold-weather conditions, the windshield wipers may operate only at the high-speed setting, while the windshield washer system may not function properly.
The agency said the reduced visibility could increase the risk of a crash.
In a separate recall, Ford is recalling 42,784 Mustang Mach-E vehicles because the rear differential pinion shaft may fracture.
