2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E: service call for improperly attached windshield

The Mustang Mach-E 2021 will be withdrawn from the market by order of the National Administration of Highway Traffic Safety (NHTSA) for review , as reported by Roadshow. The federal agency, in charge of monitoring the safety of the cars that travel the roads of the United States, has issued two recalls for this model that since its launch has become one of the most interesting electric options in the world. Ford : the first withdrawal applies to 17, 692 copies, which are affected by a windshield installation problem that originated in the production line; the second withdrawal corresponds to 13, 544 units with the same installation problem, but on your panoramic roof.

Fortunately, both problems have a relatively simple solution, according to the NHTSA report . Owners only need to respond to the recall and approach one of Ford’s dealerships to have the vehicle serviced at no additional charge, as the company will bear all the costs necessary to fix the problem. According to the information provided, in the first case it will be necessary for the company’s technicians to detach the windshield to reinstall it, while in the second case they only need to add more sealant to be able to adhere it better.

As is evident, the withdrawal is motivated by the possible detachment of these parts , which can be really dangerous for both owners and other drivers on the roads of the United States and become a constant cause of accidents and unfortunate events. However, according to the NHTSA call, the true risk of detachment would occur during a crash.

The Mustang Mach-E 2021 is an electric SUV that has led Ford’s sales throughout the year, outperforming other company vehicles by a long gap each trimester. Relive the history of Ford’s iconic coupe through a much larger utility vehicle powered by clean energy and packed with technology inside its cabin to keep its occupants connected.
