Ford Mustang Mach-E

Ford Mustang Mach-E, 2021 onward A comfortable, well-sorted crossover whose early cars carry one well-known battery fault a buyer can check off. The high-voltage battery main contactors can overheat and cut driving power. Ford first answered with a software update in 2022, then, citing 107 overheating cases after that recall, recalled 2021 and 2022 extended-range models for a new high-voltage battery junction box. On an early extended-range car, look for the junction box replacement on the record, not just the software. Separately, 2021 to 2023 rear-wheel-drive cars were recalled in 2026 over a rear differential shaft that can break, with repairs not due before late December, so all-wheel drive is the simpler buy for now.
