Ford's 2022 Mach-E Recall Of 49,000 Units Investigated By US

Ford Motor Company's F recall of nearly 49,000 Ford Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles last year is reportedly being investigated by the U.S. auto safety regulators to understand if the company had adequately addressed concerns.

Ford issued the June 2022 recall out of heating concerns of the high voltage battery main contactors from D.C. fast-charging, increasing the risk of a crash, Reuters reported.

The report added that the regulatory watchdogs are also investigating whether the recall should be expanded to more vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said it had extended a recall query to 64,000 Mach-E vehicles after getting 12 consumer objections regarding cars that had received recall fixes.

Ford said it is "working with NHTSA to support their investigation," Reuters noted.

Following the recall for 2021 and 2022 model-year vehicles, Ford published a technical service bulletin to substitute the High Voltage Battery Junction Box on recalled vehicles, as mentioned in the report.
