Ford Recalls 45K Mach-E Units for Complete Lighting Blackout
"The Mach-E's sales pitch was always 'practical EV for normal people'—electrical gremlins like this are the reminder that 'normal' costs less when you skip the software complexity."
— Revvly Take
Ford's issued a recall on 45,047 Mustang Mach-E SUVs due to exterior lighting that can fail simultaneously without warning—the kind of thing that makes you wonder how this made it past validation. The issue affects multiple lighting systems at once, which is less 'minor defect' and more 'potential safety liability.' For buyers already skeptical about EV reliability, this lands at exactly the wrong moment.
