The Ford Mustang Mach-E has had a busy recall and OTA-fix history since its 2021 launch. The most consequential campaigns address the high-voltage battery main contactor overheating (NHTSA 22V-360), windshield bonding (22V-021), and several OTA software remedies. This page tracks every Mach-E recall and the current resolution status.
Several Mach-E recalls have been resolved by over-the-air software updates. Even so, the NHTSA recall stays open until the OTA is confirmed installed on your VIN. Check Ford's VIN tool to confirm.
The Mach-E is a software-defined vehicle; many of its recalls are corrected by an OTA update rather than a dealer visit. The standout exception is the high-voltage battery main contactor (NHTSA 22V-360): under repeated DC fast charging or wide-open-throttle use, the contactor can overheat and weld closed, leaving the vehicle unable to drive. Ford issued a calibration update plus, in some VINs, a hardware contactor replacement. Other notable recalls cover windshield adhesion (22V-021), subframe bolts (22V-558 family), and rear-view camera display (multiple OTAs).
| Campaign | Issue | Model Years | Remedy | Severity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NHTSA 22V-360 | HV main contactor overheats | 2021-2022 | Calibration + selective hardware | High |
| NHTSA 22V-021 | Windshield bonding insufficient | 2021 | Re-bond windshield | High |
| NHTSA 23V-085 | Subframe bolts may loosen | 2021-2022 | Bolt torque inspection | Medium |
| NHTSA 22V-051 | Rear-camera display blank | 2021 | OTA software update | Medium |
| NHTSA 22V-779 | Loss of drive power | 2021-2022 | OTA software | High |
| NHTSA 24V-XXX (charging) | DC fast charge stop / contactor follow-up | 2021-2023 | OTA + service campaign | High |

Recalls are tied to specific VINs, not just model years. Run yours through these free tools before you buy, sell, or schedule a repair:

No nationwide class action specific to Mach-E has produced a settlement as of 2026. State-level lemon-law claims have produced individual buybacks where repeated repair attempts failed to resolve drive-power or charging issues.
Check FordPass and ford.com/recalls for your VIN. If an OTA is open, confirm the installation date in the vehicle settings. For the HV contactor recall, request that the dealer document any prior "vehicle will not drive" or "stop safely now" events.

For most software-related Mach-E recalls, yes. Some hardware-related campaigns still require a dealer visit even after an OTA.
Yes. The HV battery, contactor, and drive unit are covered by the 8-year / 100,000-mile EV warranty.
A 2022 calibration reduced peak DC fast-charge power to protect the contactor; later updates partially restored it. Real-world peak DCFC speeds depend on station, temperature, and SOC.
Yes. Many Mach-E recalls span all trims including GT and GT Performance.
Use Roadside Assistance under the warranty. Ford has issued goodwill in cases of repeated drive-power loss.
No. The Mach-E uses a different battery chemistry and supplier (LG and SK On at different times). It has not had a Bolt-style nationwide cell-replacement recall.
