Just got a recall 2024 Mustang - 26C40 ENGINE HARNESS GROUND EYELET REPLACEMENT

[D/\rK•650]

There is absolutely no way I'll look to buy another Ford after my experience with this Dark Horse. We've had 2 Chargers, a Challenger, and a TRX in fairly recent years. They have all been great and the TRX in particular is just AMAZING. RAM also has some new and exciting trucks out now.

I feel the same way, this was my first Mustang and Ford and I will not be interested in buying another.

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

I'm that guy. I don't trust technicians to take care of my car the same way I would. Too many bad experiences in the past. It's my decision and I understand the risk. I know how to wrench on cars myself vs taking them to the dealer for every little thing including oil changes. If you don't know how to work on your vehicle that's fine for you. I'm not here to judge, but I am not and should not be on a recognition basis with the service advisor.

I have a 2026 Tungsten. Fantastic truck.

I like to turn the wrenches when modding and mostly maintaining my vehicles, but for just having a brand new car work the way it's supposed to from the factory, I'm not putting in the time and energy and money that Ford should have to. I can save a lot of money buying used vehicles for that.

This truly is an interesting thread on a forum that celebrates Mustangs. I as well have a 2015 Nissan Frontier ProX4 with 116000 miles, I’ve changed the oil, spark plugs, brakes and rotors (4 months ago), fixed a axel seal on the right rear, customized it in various ways. Runs like a top. Bought it used at less than 10K miles. I have wrenched my vehicles when needed and love the challenge, yet age physical limits ( damn I hate admitting) is slowing my abilities. I have a couple of great mechanics to rely on when needed. Spending almost 6 figures on vehicles and getting crap service, recalls without solutions, and a; oh by the way, the recall could result in a crash without a timelined solution is BS. So far I haven’t had any recalls on my Mustang. Fingers crossed.

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

This would almost make me wonder if constant door lock query is a byproduct which eventually leads to dbs when bms encounters the anomaly. How many total eyes are there?
