Ford recalls nearly 200,000 Mustang Mach Es in the U.S. due to faulty door latches that could trap passengers

  • Ford Motor Company is recalling 197,432 Mustang Mach-E SUVs from model years 2021 through 2025 due to a door latch malfunction that may trap passengers inside.
  • The problem is caused by a software error in the vehicle's door locking mechanism that can result in the latches staying engaged after occupants leave and close the door.
  • Ford plans to notify owners starting June 23, 2025, by mail with instructions for free repair through a software update and replacement of the powertrain control module responsible for door lock functions.
  • The company reports no injuries or accidents have been linked to the issue, and the software update to fix the recall should be ready by the end of September. Vehicle owners can reach out to Ford customer service or the NHTSA hotlines for support.
  • This recall aims to reduce risk of passengers, especially children unable to operate interior releases, becoming trapped, which could cause serious injury under extreme conditions.
