Ford Recalls 35,000 US Mach-E EVs for Power Loss and Battery Issues

Ford is recalling 35,000 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles in the United States due to potential power loss caused by overheating high voltage battery main contactors. This follows an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) into Ford's previous recall of 49,000 Mach-E vehicles in June 2022. The initial recall involved a software update, but the new recall, limited to extended range vehicles, includes a replacement high voltage battery junction box. Ford has reported 107 instances of contactor overheating resulting in power loss after the previous recall, but no crashes or injuries have been reported.
