Sept 1 (Reuters) – Ford Motor is recalling 148,663 vehicles in the U.S. due ​to a loss of ‌driver power and loss of headlight function or windshield washing system function, which can reduce visibility, ‌the ​U.S. National Highway ⁠Traffic Safety Administration ⁠said on Tuesday.

Here are some details:

• The recall covers 2024-2026 Mustang vehicles.

• The U.S. ​auto safety regulator said the engine compartment wiring harness ⁠ground connections ⁠could cause a loss ​of drive power or disable functions ​including the windshield washer system, ‌headlights, air conditioning and engine cooling fan, raising the risk of a crash.

• ⁠The dealers will replace the engine compartment wiring harness ground terminals, free ⁠of ‌charge, according to the ⁠NHTSA.

• In June, ​Ford ‌recalled 91,198 U.S. vehicles because ​the daytime ⁠running lamps do not dim, reducing other drivers’ visibility and increasing crash risk.
