Ford has issued a recall for the Mustang Mach-E over defective Battery Energy Control Modules (BECMs) that could cause a loss of power and increase the risk of a fire. Only cars that have undergone repairs earlier are affected by this issue.
According to Ford, 86 Mustang Mach-Es manufactured between 2023 and 2025 have been identified as having received replacement BECMs. The new control modules failed to initialise the battery’s actual state-of-charge at the time of installation and were instead calibrated to 100% SOC.
While it may seem like a fairly benign issue, Ford says that it could result in unexpected loss of power, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. It may also result in a severe high-voltage condition, which may cause a fire.
To rectify the issue, Ford has directed its dealers to update the BECM software. Mustang Mach-E owners can get it fixed completely free of charge.
Earlier this month, Ford also issued a stop-sale order for the ICE-powered Mustang in Australia, affecting over 7,700 owners.
