Ford’s electric version of its legendary Mustang muscle car has been hit with a recall.
Ford is recalling 1,175 of its 2022 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles due to concerns that the right-rear axle half shafts may have a manufacturing defect, according to Ford Authority.
The defect means that the part could break.
The website YourMechanic noted the danger of a broken axle.
“When your axle fails, it’s possible that you’ll lose control of the car, possibly causing an accident,” the site advised.
“If you suspect that your axles are about to break, time is of the essence. Once broken completely, your car won’t move, and if they break while you’re driving, it could cause a serious accident.”
As part of the recall, dealers will inspect the Mach-E and replace right-rear half shafts as necessary.
There have been no reports from owners of problems with the vehicle, Ford Authority reported.
The recall covers Mach-E models produced between July 18 and July 29 at the Cuautitlan assembly plant in Mexico.
The base price of a Mustang Mach-E when the 2022 model was unveiled was $43,995, Car and Driver reported last year. The first deliveries of the 2022 Mach-E were in February.
