Ford has issued a recall for nearly 43,000 Mustang Mach-E electric crossovers sold in the U.S.
The vehicles included in the recall have a rear differential pinion shaft that may fracture, potentially resulting in a loss of power or unintended movement.
The automaker hasn’t determined the root cause of the issue yet, but is doing the right thing by fixing the cars for free.
Nearly 43,000 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric crossovers sold in the United States are being recalled over a potentially dangerous issue with the rear differential. According to official documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the affected vehicles’ differential pinion shaft may fracture due to bending fatigue.
This leads to a loss of driving power or unintended vehicle movement if the parking brake is not applied. The pinion shaft is the one responsible for taking power from the electric motor and sending it down the line to the wheels, so if it breaks, the driver will be stranded.
