Wiper Recall Stops Sales

[Sig Oris]

Apologize in advance to POST PATROL if subject already discussed.

Went looking at Explorers today and the salesman mentioned they can't sell any Mustangs due to the open recall. He stated FOMOCO told them a fix isn't expected until next year. Sucks for someone because they have a sweet GT350 on the showroom floor.

Affected vehicles: select 2024-2026 Ford Mustang models produced between September 18th, 2024, and February 2nd, 2026, as well as select 2025-2026 Mustang GTD coupes built from January 16th, 2025, to February 2nd, 2026.

Number of affected vehicles: 67,842

The fix: dealers will inspect and replace the wiper motor as necessary, free of charge.

Owners should: wait for communications from Ford, which will begin on July 8th, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late March 2027. The Ford reference number for this recall is 26C32.


They can sell new Mustangs manufactured after February 2, 2026 they just can't sell existing inventory before that date until the fix. I guess that means any existing 2025/26 inventory that is affected could get a steep discount come March 2027! Be on the lookout for some great deals next year on those!

Man; that is sad! Guess Ford's been a bit sensitive about selling defective wheels (of any degree of seriousness) since the exploding Pinto fiasco.

At least this one wasn't for anything really serious...................................like defective valve stem caps.

I wonder how many of these STOP SALE Mustangs are on the dealers lots????
I had a friend in Florida while signing the check for a new ECO BOOST have the deal cancelled the day the recall started. He was a bit upset.

Its being discussed in a couple other threads. One poor guy in the UK cant take delivery of his Dark Horse he ordered.
