The Ford Mustang Mach-E electric SUV has been recalled once again in Australia, marking the fifth recall for the model in the country. This time, the issue does not pertain to the vehicle’s operation but rather to a non-compliant fuel consumption sticker.
The announcement comes as Ford Australia addresses compliance with the Australian Design Rule 81/02, which mandates specific fuel consumption labeling for light vehicles. Despite the recall, Ford assures that there is no safety hazard associated with this issue, and it will not affect the vehicle’s performance.
Details of the Recall
A total of 367 Mustang Mach-E vehicles, produced between 2023 and 2025, are affected by this recall. Ford has provided a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list to help owners determine if their vehicle is impacted. The recall notice emphasizes that the defect is purely administrative and does not compromise the safety or functionality of the cars.
“There is no safety hazard associated with this recall and the defect will not affect the performance of the vehicle,” Ford stated in its recall notice.
This development follows a series of recalls for the Mach-E model in 2025, highlighting ongoing challenges for the electric SUV in the Australian market.
A History of Recalls
The latest recall is part of a broader pattern of recalls for the Ford Mustang Mach-E in Australia. In September 2025, a nationwide product safety recall was issued for 452 vehicles due to potential lighting faults, which also included some Mustang sports cars.
Earlier in July 2025, the Mach-E was recalled due to a software issue affecting door lock operations, impacting 1,234 vehicles. Additionally, two other recalls earlier in the year affected a range of Ford models, with a total of 29,874 vehicles involved, including the Mustang, F-150, Ranger, and Everest.
Implications and Next Steps
The recurring recalls for the Mach-E highlight the challenges Ford faces in ensuring compliance and reliability in the competitive electric vehicle market. While the current recall does not pose a safety risk, it underscores the importance of adherence to regulatory standards.
