- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2023 Mustang Mach E vehicles. The rear differential pinion shaft may fracture.
- What it can cause
- Differential pinion shaft fracture may result in a loss of drive power, or unintended vehicle movement if the vehicle is in park without the parking brake applied, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will repair or replace the rear differential assembly as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 13, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S50.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 42,784 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the power train 134 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V402000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 594 complaints with NHTSA, 555 of them before this campaign was filed. 98 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2021, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 17 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V582000 (electrical system), 26V487000 (structure), 25V513000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V441000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on June 30, 2026 as campaign 26V417000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
