Overview
- The recall covers about 207,181 Mach-Es in the U.S. and 120,000 abroad from model years 2021–2025.
- Dealers have received stop-sale orders halting all Mustang Mach-E deliveries and customer test drives until the software remedy is deployed.
- An unexpected discharge of the vehicle’s 12-volt battery can cause the front-door electronic latches to retain their last lock status, creating lockout or entrapment risks.
- Ford reports no accidents or injuries tied to the defect, but owner forums recount multiple lockout incidents that sometimes required window break-ins.
- A newly imposed 25% tariff on Mexico-made Mach-Es has driven up prices by about $2,000, further straining sales momentum.
