[Av8tor]

And the company is recalling 464 electric Mustang Mach-E SUVs from 2021. A software problem can cause unintended acceleration, deceleration or a loss of drive power in all-wheel-drive vehicles.

Ford says in documents posted Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the powertrain control computer may not detect a software error.

The problem will be fixed by dealers or by an online software update. Owners will be notified by letter around May 30.

More information:

On March 1st, an issue pertaining to a secondary axle torque software error was brought into Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group for investigation. The CCRG received one report of a vehicle incorrectly detecting a lateral hazard on the primary axle, causing the zero-emission crossover to enter a speed-limited state on March 18th. The automaker further notes that it’s not aware of any vehicle owner questionnaires related to this problem.

The Dearborn-based automaker highlights that no accidents or injuries have been reported thus far. The committee approved a field action on May 6th, comprising vehicles produced between October 3rd, 2020, and May 26th, 2021. The shoddy powertrain control module software may lead to unintended acceleration, unintended deceleration, unintended vehicle movement, or reduced motive power, increasing the risk of a crash.

A grand total of three versions are listed in the attached report: MJ98-12A650-AXH, MJ98-12A650-BBH, and MJ98-12A650-BEH. Ford says the affected software rolled out exclusively as a service release, never introduced into series production. The remedy versions are MJ98-12A650-AXJ, MJ98-12A650-BBJ, and MJ98-12A650-BEJ, which are designed to report the secondary axle torque value properly to the vehicle’s PCU.
