Ford is recalling some Mustang model vehicles because of a defective headlight problem that could lower a driver’s visibility, raising the risk of a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Approximately 45,047 cars were recalled, and the automaker is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition, the NHTSA added.
What Ford Mustangs are being recalled?
Why you should care:
The recall covers certain 2025-2026 Mustang Mach-E cars because the Light Driver Control Module B in them might fail.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated in a Dec. 18 recall letter that when this module collapses, it prevents the turn signals, daytime running lights, low beam, and high beam headlights from lighting.
Are repairs available for the recalled Mustangs?
What you can do:
Ford plans to release an over-the-air update, or dealers will update the module's software for free.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Jan. 30 with a follow-up sent once a remedy becomes available, which is expected to happen in April 2026.
