Ford Recalling MACH E, Pausing Delivery Over Battery Issues

Ford Motor Co (F.N) just announced that they are recalling around 49,000 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles in the United States on the grounds that a section could overheat and bring about a deficiency of impetus power. This has potential Mach E buyers pumping the brakes on their electric dreams.

The No. 2 U.S. automaker said DC quick charging and rehashed completely open pedal occasions can cause the high-voltage battery primary contactors to overheat. Portage said it will resolve the issue that covers Mach-E vehicles worked from late May 2020 through late May 2022 with a product update it hopes to start one month from now.

Sellers can’t convey new vehicles to clients until the vehicles have the product update.

Ford said “overheating may lead to arcing and deformation of the electrical contact surfaces, which can result in a contactor that remains open or a contactor that welds closed.” If an overheated contactor opens while driving, it could result in a loss of propulsion power, increasing the risk of a crash.
