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.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles. The recall addresses a potential issue where an Over-The-Air (OTA) update to the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) may result in the loss of power brake assist, ABS, Electronic Stability Control, Traction Control, and driver assistance features.

A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle. Additionally, a disabled antilock brake system and/or stability control system can result in a loss of vehicle control. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the ABS calibration free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 5, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
