Ford today issued a safety recall for less than 75 2021 Mustang Mach-Es that have already been delivered to customers. From Ford:
During checks to provide high levels of quality and customer satisfaction, Ford discovered that some vehicles may have subframe bolts that the supplier did not tighten to specification.
Ford says there have been no accidents or injuries caused by the issue and customers who have already received their Mach-E will be notified starting the week of March 22.
Of the 1,258 affected machines, 94% are in the United States and the 90 in Canada will have the recall resolved before delivery to the customer. The reference number for this Ford recall is 21S09.
Luckily for Ford, this is a little reminder, and tightening any loose subframe bolts is probably a straightforward job for Ford service centers. Only fewer than 75 customers will need to bring their Mustang Mach-E to the dealership for the recall. It appears that the remaining 1,100 Mach-Es will have completed the recall before delivery to the customer. It’s hard to imagine that loose subframe bolts will cause accidents. The bolts should always be sufficiently tight, but not tightened to the proper specifications when installed.
The Mustang Mach-E is a brand new model for Ford and an electric vehicle, so expect more recalls in the future. It happens to all manufacturers. Hopefully Ford never gets a battery recall that Hyundai and LG Chem are currently dealing with.
