Recall 26V-582: Electrical System

Reported Sep 9, 2026 · 86 vehicles affected · Ford Motor Company

Problem: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Mustang Mache E vehicles that received a new Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) during a prior repair.

Fix: Dealers will update the BECM software, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed September 18, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S68.

Recent 2023 Ford Mustang Mach E complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Structure · reported Oct 17, 2026
The spot welds holding the driver side front door check strap (the thing that keeps the door from opening too far) have failed on a 3 year old Mustang Mach E GT (2023 model year) with 45,000 miles on it and no corrosion on the door. You are more than welcome to look at the failure or I can send you pictures. The safety issue is that this is the only thing keeping the door from opening too far and damaging the hinges that could prevent the door from closing. I don't want this failure to be reproduced as my other doors seem okay. The spot weld failure on my car hasn't been inspected, but there…
Unknown or Other · reported Oct 11, 2026
OTA software updates are unable to be recieved and I cannot set the auto update option to on. Since the vehicle is basically a computer on wheels, this is a serious safety concern. All functions rely on the computer which in turn relies on the software updates.
Electrical System · reported Oct 8, 2026
I am reporting a recurring safety defect involving my 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium. The defect appears to involve the high-voltage battery system, powertrain system, and High Voltage Battery Junction Box (HVBJB). The vehicle and related components are available for inspection upon request. My vehicle experienced failures on May 28, 2026, June 25, 2026, and October 1, 2026. Prior to each failure, the vehicle displayed "High Voltage Battery Warning" and "Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power" messages. Following these warnings, the vehicle became completely inoperable and would not start.…
Electrical System · reported Sep 22, 2026
On almost all Mustang Mach-E vehicles, a loose or faulty cable connection which runs to the forward facing camera in the rear-view mirror housing causes error messages to suddenly display on the dashboard screen. Generally, the driver will receive a "Front Camera Fault – Service Required" error message, in addition to a "Pre-Collision Assist Not Available" error message, also followed by an error message indicating that lane centering is also no longer functioning. All of this occurs after the vehicle travels over a harsh imperfection/bump in the road pavement, or in my case, every time I…
Seat Belts · reported Sep 12, 2026
Multiple intermittent electrical/software malfunctions in my Ford Mustang Mach-E, one of which poses an acute safety risk. STEERING WHEEL BUTTON / UNCOMMANDED ACCELERATION: A button on the steering wheel, when pressed, causes the vehicle to suddenly accelerate to a high speed with no corresponding throttle input from me, and speed cannot be immediately brought back under control. This creates a serious risk of collision to myself, passengers, and other road users. DOOR LATCH: A door does not open fully ("bounce open") as designed. This matches Ford recall 25V404, covering doors that may fail…
