- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Mustang Mache E vehicles that received a new Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) during a prior repair. The battery energy control module software may display an incorrect state-of-charge or lead to the BECM overheating.
- What it can cause
- An inaccurate state-of-charge reading can lead to an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of crash. Additionally, an overheating BECM increases the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the BECM software, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, are expected to be mailed October 26, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S68. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.
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 86 vehicles this is a small campaign: 72% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 102 times before this, most recently in August 2026 as 26V547000. 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 172 complaints with NHTSA, 167 of them before this campaign was filed. 81 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2023, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V487000 (structure), 26V417000 (power train), 25V885000 (exterior lighting), 25V863000 (power train).
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 September 9, 2026 as campaign 26V582000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
