Is your version affected?

Find your engine (fuel type and power on the registration document): each row lists the campaigns that concern it. A recall often covers only a production period: only the vehicle identification number (VIN) settles it.

Each campaign in detail

High-voltage battery contactors overheating (recall)
Manufacturer recall
In the United States, Ford recalled around 49,000 Mach-Es in 2022: the main high-voltage battery contactors can overheat during DC fast charging and repeated full-throttle acceleration, with a risk of power loss. The fix was a software update. A later recall (23S56, 2023) provides for replacing the high-voltage junction box on some 2021-2022 Extended Range versions. We have found no confirmation of an equivalent recall in France.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

Electric doors locked after 12 V battery discharge (recall)
Manufacturer recall
If the 12 V battery drops below about 8.4 V, the electric door handles may stay locked after the driver or front passenger exits, risking trapping an occupant (for example a child in the rear). Recall 25S65 (US campaign 25V404) covers around 197,000 Mach-Es from 2021 to 2025; Autoblog presents it as a worldwide recall. The correction is a software update at a dealership.

Rear differential: risk of axle shaft failure (US recall 2026)
Manufacturer recall
Ford recalled 42,784 Mustang Mach-Es from 2021 to 2023 in the United States: a rear differential pinion shaft can break through fatigue, causing sudden loss of power or the vehicle moving when stationary if the parking brake is not applied. The exact cause is still under investigation, the solution is expected by the end of 2026, and sources disagree on the specific versions concerned (rear-wheel drive or all versions).
