The Ford Mustang Mach-E went on sale towards the end of last year and it’s already facing a second recall. After calling into the shop a small number of electric SUVs in March because of defective subframe bolts, the Blue Oval has now issued a more significant recall that affects no fewer than 38,714 units. The problems stem from improperly bonded sunroofs and windshields, which in a worst-case scenario, could simply detach from the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Of the Mustang Mach-Es recalled, Ford says only 27,318 units have problems with the sunroof, but all of them need a windshield replacement. Thankfully, the company is not aware of any incidents or injuries that might have occurred caused by the improperly bonded sunroof and\/or windshield. A company spokesperson has told Automotive News<\/em> the problematic vehicles were all assembled between February 24 and June 18 and that Ford dealers will replace the windshield and sunroof, free of charge.<\/p>\n The recall reinforces the opinion that many people have about avoiding the first model year of a vehicle, especially if the car in question is an all-new model as is the case with the Mustang Mach-E<\/a>. It is a bit embarrassing for such a high-profile to face a fairly large recall, as while the number itself is not huge, it\u2019s worth mentioning the electric SUV has been in series production for less than a year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Seeing the glass half full, Ford has vowed to make the Mustang Mach-E better with time, promising over-the-air updates that will bring quicker charging and better range. We’re hoping build qualities will also be addressed, especially since the much-hyped Bronco off-road SUV also has some issues with its roof.<\/p>\n
