Ford is telling dealers to stop selling the electric mustang mach-e because of a potential safety defect that could cause the vehicles to become immobile.
Ford said in a notice to its dealers that there could be affected vehicles built at the Cuautitlan plant in Mexico. Since the beginning of production of the electric vehicle. It's not clear whether all of the vehicles produced during that time will need to be recalled.
A potential overheating of the vehicle's battery main contactors is the problem. A malfunction that causes the vehicle to not start or lose power while in motion can be caused by the issue.
The recall is noteworthy because of the problems with electric vehicles. High recall and warranty costs have been experienced by Ford in the past.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states that Ford has issued a number of recalls regarding the Mach-E. They ranged from a software error causing unintended acceleration in less than 500 vehicles earlier this year to problems with loose sub frame bolts and inadequate bonding for thousands of the vehicle's glass panel roofs.
The problem is expected to be solved in the third quarter. After repair instructions and parts ordering information are given to dealers, owners will be notified via mail.
