2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Recall Details
5 recalls have been issued for the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E. All recall repairs are performed free of charge at authorized dealerships.
EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Mustang Mache E vehicles. The Light Driver Control Module B (LDCMB) may fail, preventing the turn signals, daytime running lights, low beam, and high beam headlights from illuminating. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
A loss of exterior lighting can reduce the driver's visibility and the visibility of the vehicle to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Ford will release an over-the-air (OTA) update or dealers will update the LDCMB software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 28, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C71. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning January 12, 2026.

The integrated park module may fail to lock into the park position when the driver shifts into park. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence
A loss of park function can allow the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Lincoln Nautilus, Mustang Mach E, and Mustang vehicles. The LED Driver Modules may contain a burnt diode, which can cause the low-beam and high-beam headlights, daytime running lights, front position lights, and front turn signals to fail in the affected headlight. On Nautilus vehicles only, this condition may also cause the rear tail light, rear turn signal, and rear position light to fail. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Consequence
Exterior lighting failure can reduce visibility for the driver and other road users, increasing the risk of a crash.

2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Common Problems by Component
8 owner complaints grouped by vehicle system.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
3 complaintsOwners of the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E report issues related to the electrical system, with one owner experiencing a complete dashboard failure, rendering the speed, gear, and battery life indicators inoperative. This issue was observed by a dealership but could not be replicated for repair. Additionally, complaints frequently mention delays in receiving parts for recalls, impacting vehicle delivery and ownership experience. The complaints do not specify mileage when these issues occur, nor do they report any direct safety implications such as crashes or loss of control. Potential buyers should be aware of possible delays in recall-related repairs and the occurrence of dashboard malfunctions.
POWER TRAIN
3 complaintsOwners report issues with the powertrain of the 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E, particularly involving unexpected loss of propulsion and shifting problems. Complaints frequently mention a "Stop Safely Now" warning leading to a complete stall, with the vehicle becoming immobilized and locked in Park, posing a safety risk in traffic. Another common issue involves the inability to shift gears, leaving the vehicle stuck in the road with automatic engagement of the emergency brake. These problems are reported in vehicles with low mileage, including one instance at under 900 miles. The sudden loss of propulsion and shifting failures highlight potential safety implications, especially in active traffic situations.
WHEELS
1 complaintI noticed that I kept receiving a low tire pressure warning on my car. I would have it filled and then a few days later, the warning appeared again. I took the car in to the dealership to let them know there is an issue with my tire on 11/24/2025. The dealership then stated that I had to pay for a replacement tire. I asked if there was any type of warranty on the tire as I have only had the vehicle for a few months. They stated I had to purchase a new tire. I do not feel that I should pay for a defected tire. I have not driven the vehicle due to safety and want help in resolving this issue as the defect should be covered.

How We Calculate Reliability Scores
Auto Reliability Index scores are calculated on a 0–100 scale using a weighted formula that combines multiple public data sources. Each factor is weighted based on its predictive value for real-world ownership experience.
Key Ranking Factors
Complaint Severity
NHTSA owner complaints weighted by component category (e.g., powertrain, safety systems, electronics, cosmetic) — safety-critical issues carry more weight than cosmetic ones. Adjusted for sales volume so high-volume models aren't unfairly penalized.
Repair Costs
Independent reliability ratings based on repair frequency, average repair costs, and severity of typical repairs for each model.
Recall Impact
Number of NHTSA recalls weighted by severity. “Stop driving” and fire-risk recalls are penalized more heavily than minor software or labeling recalls.
Issue Diversity
Measures how many major vehicle systems (engine, transmission, electrical, braking, etc.) have recorded complaints. A vehicle with issues spread across many systems may indicate systemic quality issues.
Scores are grouped into four tiers:
- 80–100: Excellent — Top-tier reliability, minimal issues
- 60–79: Good — Reliable with some minor concerns
- 40–59: Mixed — Notable issues, research before buying
- 0–39: Risky — Significant problems, proceed with caution
Data is sourced from NHTSA recall records, owner complaint filings, and independent repair databases. Scores are recalculated as new data becomes available. While the weighting model is proprietary, all underlying data sources are public and traceable.
