Ford is recalling nearly 35,000 Mustang Mach-Es due to a risk of the EV battery’s main contactors overheating. Auto123 has the details.
Ford is recalling 34,762 units of the Mustang Mach-E electric crossover, due to a potential risk of the high-voltage battery’s main contactors overheating. In Canada the recall affects 4,707 Mustang Mach-E EVs, 2021-2022 model-years.
In the United States, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a safety recall report indicating that fast direct-current charging and repeated accelerations can lead to overheating of the high-voltage battery main contactors. This could result in electrical issues and unexpected power loss, thereby increasing the risk of accidents.
It's worth noting that this issue has persisted in the Mach-E since last year. In June 2022, Ford issued a recall following several reports of power loss due to a similar overheating issue. At that time, the company deployed multiple software updates to monitor the temperature and resistance of the contactors and reduce the battery and vehicle power to prevent damage.
