Ford’s Catastrophic EV Recall
- Ford has initiated a global recall affecting more than 300,000 Mach-E electric SUVs due to a defect in the 12-volt battery that may cause doors to lock occupants inside or prevent entry.
- The recall follows NHTSA's identification that an unexpected 12-volt battery discharge may disable electronic door latches, risking occupants becoming trapped or locked out.
- Ford ordered dealers to stop all Mustang Mach-E deliveries and demonstrations and plans to issue a free over-the-air software fix while maintaining the stop-sale order until resolved.
- Ford spokesperson Mike Levine warned that the issue might lead to severe harm, particularly during high temperatures, although Ford has confirmed that no accidents have been reported so far.
- Starting June 23, 2025, Ford will send recall notifications to owners of Mustang Mach-E vehicles worldwide, covering model years from 2021 to 2025.
