26V417000 2026-06-30
Power train:driveline:differential unit

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Mustang Mach E vehicles. The rear differential pinion shaft may fracture.

Differential pinion shaft fracture may result in a loss of drive power, or unintended vehicle movement if the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied, increasing the risk of a crash.

25V441000 2025-06-27
Electrical system:propulsion system:traction battery:management system/energy control module (bms/becm)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Mustang Mach E vehicles equipped with an extended range battery. The high voltage battery main contactors may overheat.

An overheated high voltage battery contactor can result in a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

25V404000 2025-06-13
Electrical system:body control module:software

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Mustang Mach E vehicles. In the event of a low battery charge, the electronic door latches may remain locked once the driver or front passenger exits and shuts the door, possibly trapping someone who is unable to use the inside door release handles, such as a child in the back seat.

The inability to enter or exit the vehicle in an emergency increases the risk of injury.

Back over prevention:software

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Bronco, F-150, 2021-2024 Edge, 2022-2025 Escape, F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550, F-600, 2022-2024 Expedition, 2022-2025 Transit, 2021-2023 Mach-E, 2024 Ranger, Mustang, 2021-2023 Lincoln Nautilus, 2022-2024 Navigator, and 2023-2024 Corsair vehicles. A software error may cause the rearview camera image to delay, freeze, or not display when the vehicle is in reverse.

A frozen or missing rearview camera image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Electrical system:propulsion system:traction battery:management system/energy control module (bms/becm)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mustang Mach-E vehicles equipped with an extended range battery. The high voltage battery main contactors may overheat.

Power train:axle assembly:axle shaft

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Mustang Mach-E vehicles. The right-rear axle half shafts may have been manufactured improperly, allowing the half shaft stem to break under load.

A broken half shaft can cause a loss of drive power, or a rollaway could occur while parked if the electronic parking brake is not engaged. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

22V412000 2022-06-10
Electrical system:propulsion system:traction battery:management system/energy control module (bms/becm):software

Seat belts:rear/other:anchorage

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Mustang Mach-E and 2022 Maverick vehicles. The rear seat belt buckles may not be properly attached to the rear floor assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and 210, "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

In owners’ own words

Other mileage not reported 8 mo in service
2 times we have had an incident in which the vehicle at a slow speed when parking or switching between drive gear and reverse gear. The vehicle suddenly accelerates forward and the driver has to engage the brakes manually very firmly to prevent an accident.
Other mileage not reported 11 mo in service
Recall for this Mustang MachE. Unable to update software. This is a safety item and the intended fix is implemented by the vehicle owner. Took vehicle today to the Lake Geneva Wisconsin Ford dealership on 08.03.2022. Appointment made in advance. Ford service representative stated that it would take at least a half day. Appears no one has been trained on implementation on corrective actions. Other issue with navigation.
Other mileage not reported 11 mo in service
Adaptive cruise control fault, pre-commission sensors not working, anti-lock break fault, restraint fault, tire pressure fault, dash turns off while driving which makes unable to see speed driving.
Fuel / propulsion mileage not reported 1.8 yr in service
I bought a 2022 mustang Mach e. Which was supposedly fixed at the factory in regards to the HVBJB issue. However, in mid 2023, my vehicle suffered a limp mode/warning about reduced power while on the interstate, was limited to about 60mph with very poor acceleration. Was diagnosed by ford tech as a failure of the recalled part and required HVBJB and BECM replacement, similar to 22V-412 recall. I think this should be added to RQ23004 investigation, as these vehicles had both the new hardware and software and were supposed to be “fixed”.
