On the Dash:
- Ford is recalling 110,626 Mustang and Mustang Mach-E vehicles over wiper and rear differential defects
- Honda is recalling 325,588 Odyssey vehicles over a rearview camera that can fail in wet conditions
- Stellantis is recalling 11,980 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer L SUVs over software that can disable stability control
Several major automakers issued new safety recalls this week, covering vehicles that range from family minivans to performance coupes to full-size SUVs. The defects vary widely, from a rearview camera that can fail in wet weather to a driveshaft fracture risk to a software flaw that can disable stability control.
Ford faces second-worst recall year
Ford is recalling 110,626 Mustang vehicles across two separate campaigns. The larger recall covers 67,842 Mustang and Mustang GTD models. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) said a wiper motor chip issue can leave the wipers stuck on their high-speed setting in cold temperatures. The washer fluid system may also fail to work, reducing visibility in winter driving conditions and increasing the risk of a crash.
A second recall covers 42,784 Mustang Mach-E vehicles. NHTSA said the rear differential pinion shaft may fracture. This can cause a loss of drive power or allow the vehicle to roll away if parked without the parking brake engaged.
The recalls follow a June do-not-drive advisory for roughly 4,653 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles over a front suspension ball joint defect. Notably, Ford is on pace for its second-worst recall year on record, with 56 recalls filed through early July following a record 153 in 2025, according to Kelley Blue Book,
Honda issues recall over rearview cameras
Honda is recalling 325,588 model year 2018-2020 Odyssey vehicles. NHTSA said water can enter the rearview camera and cause the image to fail to display when the vehicle is in reverse, which reduces rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash.
Honda also recalled nearly 295,000 vehicles this year for a software defect that could cause engine stalling, as well as a separate rearview camera issue on certain Acura MDX models.
Stellantis recalls nearly 12,000 Jeep SUVs
Stellantis is recalling 11,980 2026 Jeep Grand Wagoneer and Wagoneer L SUVs. NHTSA said the vehicles may have been built with faulty software in the brake system control module. The defect can disable electronic stability control, increasing the risk of a crash. It’s the second major Jeep recall in a month. Stellantis recalled more than 1 million Wrangler and Gladiator vehicles in June over a power steering wiring defect linked to a fire risk.
In each case, dealers will offer updates and repairs free of charge. Owners can check whether their vehicle is affected using NHTSA’s recall lookup tool.
