Ford Mustang Mach E Recalls

The Ford Mustang Mach-E has 19 recalls covering 2021 through 2026 model years, with the most serious being a high-voltage battery contactor issue on 2021-2022 models where overheating contactors can cut drive power without warning, raising the risk of a crash.

Recalls 1 through 4 all describe the same underlying contactor overheating defect on 2021-2022 vehicles, including extended-range battery variants. Prior repair attempts under the initial remedy did not fully resolve the issue for some vehicles, leading to a follow-up campaign. On 2024-2026 models, the integrated park module can fail to lock into the park position when the driver shifts into park, allowing the vehicle to roll away. The 2025 model year has a separate park rod that can also fail to engage, with the same rollaway consequence. These two park-related issues are distinct mechanisms but share the same risk.

On the 2025-2026 models, a lighting control module failure can knock out the turn signals, daytime running lights, and both low and high beam headlights on one side of the vehicle. The 2025 model year also has a headlight module with a burnt diode that can disable the same front lighting functions. On 2023-2024 vehicles, the front windshield wiper motor can fail entirely, leaving the driver without wipers in rain or snow.

The 2021-2025 model years share an electronic door latch issue where a low battery charge can cause the doors to lock after the driver or front passenger exits, potentially trapping a rear-seat occupant who cannot operate the interior release handles. On 2021 models, a faulty over-the-air software update to the anti-lock brake system can disable power brake assist, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, traction control, and driver assistance features, extending stopping distances. A prior repair attempt for this issue was also found to be incomplete, requiring a second round of fixes. Also on 2021 all-wheel-drive models, the powertrain control module software can fail to catch a software error, causing unintended acceleration, unintended deceleration, or a sudden loss of drive power.

The 2022 model year has a right-rear axle half shaft that can fracture under load, causing loss of drive power or a rollaway if the electronic parking brake is not set. On 2021-2022 vehicles, the rear seat belt buckles may not be properly secured to the floor, meaning they can fail to restrain an occupant in a crash. The 2021 model year also has front subframe bolts that may not have been tightened during assembly, which can reduce crash protection. Two bonding issues affect 2021 models as well: the panoramic roof glass panel can detach and become a road hazard, and the windshield can separate from the body in a crash. Going back to 2021-2023 models, the rearview camera image can freeze or go missing when reversing, reducing the driver's view behind the vehicle.
