Ford issued a recall for its Mustang Mach-E electric cars that it just released not long ago. The automaker stated it is asking owners to bring their EVs to Ford centers after discovering loose bolts during quality inspections.
Announcement of the recall
The discovery also led to the delay of Ford Mustang Mach-E’s shipments since the cars have to be repaired for the issue. The American automaker headquartered in Michigan published a short statement to explain the recall.
“Ford Motor Company is issuing a safety recall affecting fewer than 75 customers who have already taken delivery of their 2021 Mustang Mach-E vehicles,” Ford stated via press release. “During checks to deliver high levels of quality and customer satisfaction, Ford discovered some vehicles may have subframe bolts that the supplier did not tighten to specification.”
Ford added that the flaw in the affected Mustang Mach-E cars is not to Ford’s standards and stressed that they have not received any accidents or injuries report related to the loose bolts.
The company disclosed that at least 1,258 Mustang Mach-Es are affected by the issue in the US and around 90 units in Canada. However, most of them have not been delivered to buyers yet, so the actual number for the recall is lower than 75 units, and these are the ones that have been shipped already.
These Ford Mustang Mach-Es need to be brought back to be fixed properly. The company said it would begin contacting the owners starting on March 22.
Second delay of Mustang Mach-E deliveries
This is actually the second time that the delivery of the Ford Mustang Mach-E was delayed. The first time was in January when the EVs sale was briefly stopped after the discovery of a quality issue that the company did not disclose. Ford also said they need to conduct additional quality checks on the cars before they could be shipped out.
Meanwhile, Auto Evolution reported the affected batch with loose bolts is part of a big batch of electric SUVs. The cars were found to be risky to drive as they were fitted with “subframe bolts that the supplier did not tighten to specification.“ Thus, the Ford Mustang Mach-E will be serviced first before the shipment, and sales could start again.
