Event the accountants at Ford would not suggest this. I hope!
If you have a VIN you can run it through Ford's site to check.
Yeah, it was mostly intended as a joke.
Ethical failures, that's what took so long.
lol yeah, this car will literally turn into a rock after this OTA. Might as well be Fred FlintstoneSome of the worst-case scenarios people post on here are so funny:
"Oh man, a software fix for the high-voltage contactor issue??!? Now Ford will have no choice but to cap the car's speed at 10 mph, steering will be disabled, only automated BlueCruise driving will be allowed, the car battery will only be allowed a single recharge and then you're legally required to dispose of it personally at the Ford factory in Mexico (I guess you'd have to tow it?), the cupholders will randomly explode your drinks all over you while you're driving, power steering will disallow any right turns at the last minute, the navigation system will refuse to guide you anywhere but the bottom of disused quarries, etc."
OUCH! So your car was built...but then did not ship for 3 months? I am wondering if this whole recall/stop sale thing is going to mean a complete shutdown of production/shipping? I am losing hope I will ever see mine and thinking about putting in reservations for other cars as a hedge.
I wouldn't read too much into running it right now since I have a feeling ALL Mach E VINs for the US were added to the stop sale and it will not be until the official recall notice is generated to owners that the actual VINs that are affected will be known.
I am one of those (was supposed to pick it up today) and I am not holding my breath on something like that. I'm sure I will get a congrats from the account when I finally get my car like everone else does, but it will probably be crickets until then.So for those who are expecting to take delivery starting like yesterday....who have now been told they can't take delivery until this software fix is performed on the two modules...as in cars already at the dealerships or 'in-transit'....
I wonder if anybody @Ford Motor Company have created a "tiger team" to identify those VINs and the customers affected with the idea of reaching out and posting the two updates to those specific modules for those VINs on FDRS, specifically so that deliveries can go ahead as planned.
Or are they not that flexible?
Hmmmm. I wonder.
This is true.
If you have opened your pedal - widely - two times since purchasing your Mustang, that is repeated, and you are screwed!As per FAQ, if I avoid DC (CCS) fast charging and don't have "repeated wide open pedal events".. I should be good, right?
Wait, isn't it all US VINS? Mr. Farley said " This action affects 48,924 vehicles in the U.S." That is approximately EVERY electric Mustang sold in the U.S, is it not?
Mine took 51 days to get from Mexico City to the dealer. Not quite as bad as 87 days, but now it sits waiting for the recall to be done before I can take delivery.
