Ford Recalls 2022 Mustang Mach-E for Rear Axle Shaft Defect

Ford is recalling 2022 Mustang Mach-E vehicles because the right-rear axle half shafts may break under load, potentially causing loss of drive power or a rollaway.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (axle shaft) that can lead to a loss of drive power or a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for structural defects and significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022 Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles due to a defect in the right-rear axle half shafts. The component may have been manufactured improperly, which allows the half shaft stem to break under load.

A broken half shaft can result in a loss of drive power. Additionally, if the electronic parking brake is not engaged, a rollaway could occur while the vehicle is parked. Either scenario increases the risk of a crash.

Dealers will inspect the serial number and replace the right-rear half shaft as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on September 19, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
