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

[Mr Hyde]

I see GM is a bit down the list but in there defense they do have over 3 million cars that will spontaneously combust and the recall says don't park indoors.

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

Hi ROKET , I looked at the schematics ground distribution for the 2024 model year and there are I counted 26 ground points to the vehicle metal frame that I could see. They have labels "G100-G115, G200-G204, G300,301 and G401-406. I have attached PDF rom the ground distribution that show these. The 73 pages of the vehicle component location views only 26 pages cover these. PDF page 2 show G111 point that covers the items under the "G1D141" The G104 in my PDF would cover "G1D120" and G107 would cover the "G1D143". I have attached a page cut from the location view that shows G111 and G107 locations. I hope this helps a little.

Thanks for throwing that diagram out there, sounds like an architecture miss or third party supplier quality issue looking at where that lies at. Would be interested in hearing a root cause analysis on that one....can guarantee hell will become a winter wonderland before that happens though.

I just checked NHTSA website for recalls! My 2024 is on there.

I would guess that the most important ground eyelet points are the first 15 labeled G100 to G115. They can be found on just 17 location pages. BTW- I took screen shots of the pages, but I am not sure if it is legal to share these on this forum in the PDF format. This could be a copyright violation and some Ford layer could get me. I do not wish to go to jail :-(

I would guess if the information is readily available on the internet than it could be posted here? Maybe a moderator can chime in on that. Now I'm curious about this.
