Ford vehicle engine and component recalls

Overview

Ford has issued multiple vehicle recalls involving engine and component defects. In the United States, the company recalled approximately 147,977 Mustangs due to engine wiring harness ground eyelets that may fracture, potentially causing a loss of motive power or failure of headlights and horns. A separate U.S. recall for 2026 models, including the Bronco, Ranger, and Explorer, addressed improperly manufactured pistons that could crack and lead to engine failure. Additionally, a recall was issued for certain 2025 Bronco Sport and Maverick models regarding a defect in the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve. Expanding into electric vehicle components, Ford announced a recall for 86 units of the 2023-2025 Mustang Mach-E equipped with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries due to a defect in the replacement Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) that could lead to inaccurate power readings and potential thermal runaway. Recent actions following reports from the Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA) include the inspection and potential replacement of diesel particulate filters (DPF) and the recalibration of DPF regeneration for models such as the B-Max, Eco Sport, Fiesta, Tourneo Connect, and Transit Connect. Furthermore, a global recall affecting over 628,000 Ford Bronco units has been issued due to a fire risk caused by premature wear of an engine compartment wiring harness. In Germany, approximately 1,343 Broncos are affected, and 1,430 Mustangs require windshield wiper system checks. In Australia, Ford has recalled 1,218 of the 2023 Mustang Mach-E electric SUVs because a manufacturing defect in the rear quarter-window seal may cause the glass to detach while in motion. New Australian recalls include 3,745 F-150 pickups due to a fuel tank strap defect that poses a fire risk, and 1,085 Ranger and Everest vehicles due to a touchscreen defect that may disable the reversing camera.
