Ford recalls nearly 200,000 Mustang Mach Es in the U.S. due to faulty door latches that could trap passengers

UNITED STATES, JUN 23 – Ford will update software on nearly 200,000 Mustang Mach-E SUVs to fix a door latch defect that may trap rear-seat passengers, with no injuries reported so far, officials said.

  • Ford Motor Co. is issuing a recall for nearly 200,000 Mustang Mach-E electric SUVs from model years 2021 through 2025 due to a defect in the door latch system that could trap passengers inside the vehicle.
  • The recall results from a safety issue where electronic door latches may stay locked if the battery charge is low, potentially trapping backseat passengers unable to use inside handles.
  • Ford dealerships will address the issue by updating Powertrain Control Module and Secondary On-Board Diagnostic Control Module software, with the remedy expected by late September.
  • Owner notification letters were planned to be mailed on June 23, and Ford designated this recall as number 25S65.
  • Vehicle owners can reach out to Ford's support team or call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline for assistance, and they can verify recall information online by entering their vehicle’s license plate number.
