Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2021-2025 Mustang Mach E vehicles due to a software issue in the body control module. In the event of a low battery charge, the electronic door latches may remain locked once the driver or front passenger exits and shuts the door. This could trap individuals who are unable to use the inside door release handles, such as a child in the back seat.

The inability to enter or exit the vehicle in an emergency increases the risk of injury. The recall affects 197,432 vehicles. Owner notification letters were mailed to 2021-2025 Mustang Mach-E owners on September 12, 2025, and to 2024-2025 Mustang Mach-E owners on July 10, 2025.

Dealers will update the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Secondary On-Board Diagnostic Control Module C (SOBDMC) software free of charge. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25S65.
