Ford Motor Co. is recalling nearly 200,000 electric Mustangs
because the door latches could falter, potentially trapping
passengers in the back seat.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said
Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford is recalling 197,432 Mustang Mach
E midsize SUVs, model years 2021-2025.
The government agency that regulates automobile safety said that
the electronic door latches may remain locked after a driver or
front seat passenger exits the vehicle and shuts the door,
potentially trapping a child or other passenger who is unable to
use the interior door releases.
The NHTSA said letters notifying owners of the safety risk were
scheduled to be sent on June 23.
Ford dealerships will fix the problem by updating the vehicles'
software, with the remedy expected to be available by late
September.
Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
Ford’s number for the recall is 25S65.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY
1-888-275-9171), or go to www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
