My service manager now knows me by first name...

As it should be....
vs the guy that commented, I have 3 recalls & havent got any of them done mindset.....

I just had two completed on my 2024, water intrusion and a software update. 1900 miles on my car, 100 of them going back and forth for recalls!
LOL!

here's some further details on the recall. affects 147,977 vehicles

In some of the affected vehicles, added heat-shrink caused an interference fit between the ground eyelets and sheet metal leading to distortion of the eyelets. Distorted engine wire harness grounds may break under normal vehicle vibration. A loss of ground G1D145 results in loss of motive power. A loss of ground G1D141 results in an inoperable right front headlamp, horn, windshield washer fluid pump, and air conditioning. A loss of ground G1D120 results in an inoperable left front headlamp. A loss of ground G1D143 causes an inoperable engine cooling fan, which may be accompanied by an illuminated check engine light and an audible chime.

i tried to find where these grounds are on the wiring diagrams, but it seems Ford has a different naming scheme for what's listed in the recall details vs what is numbered in the wiring diagrams

Wait for it… A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE.
No S———!
Houston, we have a problem! Okay Apollo 13, stay in orbit we’ll contact you when we’re ready.
A LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF A CRASH.
I mean that just gives a bucket load of confidence there Ford!
Quality job… they need to learn to count to four. Geeeez

about a month ago I did a small pull , WOT 0-60 and the car went into a limp mode. I made a post about it .... I'm wondering if it could be related to that. Dealer could not find anything.
Sometimes I also have issues with the USB phone cable , like static noise. It happened with two different cables.
One time also I washed the car and when I started it I got various error messages.

As long as brakes can still operate without engine power we are good. Just make sure you have strong legs lol

Got it on my '26 GT. Ever since I bought the car it makes weird static hissing when the car/radio are fully off and I open a door. I definitely suspect something wrong electronically but honestly not worth tearing apart the car to find a bad ground somewhere. This recall makes me think it's related.

I'm 4 for 4 for recalls on every single S650 I've purchased new so far:

'24 Eco: IPC screen blackout recall
and SSM 52444 defective axle
'25 GT: BCM water intrusion recall
and TSB 20-2253 transmission output flange missing lubrication
'25 Eco: windshield washer recall
and windshield washer lines disconnected from the factory, I posted pics here
'26 GT: ground wire recall
and all kinds of rattles/squeaks/chirps/creaking sounds from every quadrant of the car

Ford, please just build a car right from the factory.

We purchased a Bronco Sport Badlands Sasquatch about a year ago for my wife. Two months later she received a recall without a solution or part timeline. One year later no solution. She loves her vehicle, I really like my Mustang. Doesn’t look good for a blue oval future purchase.

Quality is Job 1 ......

Well it used to be, now Ford is the most recalled vehicle manufacturer in something like 5 of the last 6 years right?
