Which Mustang Mach E model years have the most recalls?

How do I check my Mustang Mach E for open recalls?

Enter your 17-character VIN at NHTSA’s recall lookup. The lookup lists every open safety recall on that specific vehicle, so you will see which of the 22 Ford Mustang Mach E campaigns above apply to you. You can also ask any authorized Ford dealer to run the VIN. The VIN is on your registration card, your insurance card, and a plate at the lower driver-side corner of the windshield. Brand-new recalls can take a few days to show up, so check again if you received a letter.

What are Mustang Mach E owners reporting?

Owner complaints filed with NHTSA since 2020, by model year. Complaints are unverified owner reports, but the components that come up most often show where owners are having trouble.

Excerpts from owner complaints (unverified):

The car had an issue with the 12V battery which caused it to be completely disabled and unresponsive to the key fob and phone as a key.

2021 FORD Mustang Mach E owner, Electrical System, NHTSA complaint 11634130

Front Camera Fault & Pre-Collision Assist Not Available. Vehicle displays these warnings every time a speed bump is driven over. These warnings take over the screen leading to distracted driving.

2021 FORD Mustang Mach E owner, Forward Collision Avoidance: Warnings, NHTSA complaint 11633639

I was driving my car like normal when a handful of warning signs popped up on the front screen and the brakes went out. I could only stop by pushing on the pedal with all my force, and it eventually slowed the car to a stop, but took an incredibly long distance to do so.

Can a recall make your Mustang Mach E a lemon in California?

Owners of a Ford Mustang Mach E often ask whether these recalls mean their vehicle qualifies under California's lemon law. Not by themselves. The question is whether a covered defect keeps coming back, or keeps the vehicle at the dealer, after a reasonable number of repair attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).

8 of the 22 recalls listed here follow an earlier campaign on the same component, which can mean a first fix did not work. 10 involve the engine, transmission or high-voltage battery, the kinds of repairs that often take several visits or weeks of downtime.

Within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, California presumes the manufacturer had enough chances if the same defect was repaired two or more times when it is likely to cause death or serious injury, four or more times for any covered defect, or the vehicle was out of service more than 30 days in total (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)). Written notice to the manufacturer is required in some cases, and owners outside that window can still have a claim. An owner who prevails can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.

What to keep: every repair order, the recall owner letters, your purchase or lease contract, and a log of dates, mileage and symptoms. Make sure every visit is written up, even when the dealer says it found nothing.
