This is completely off-base. The fact that one battery supplier (at likely one plant) has contaminated batteries doesn't mean anything for other battery suppliers at other plants.
If you want to worry about the batteries in the Mach-E then the bigger concern would be the two reported fires in Chevy Bolts. Those come from the same supplier though not the same plant (Poland vs. US). Keep in mind that LG Chem has produced cells for automotive uses for ten years without problem and that the Bolt fires might not be directly related to the batteries.
Both are right. Use LG Chem batteries everywhere other than China where the Chinese government requires CATL batteries.
