SSM 49672 - March 17, 2021 - 2021 Mustang Mach-E – Front Luggage Compartment Closing Effort
Some 2021 Mustang Mach-E vehicles may exhibit a concern where the front luggagecompartment hood is hard to close. As the hood is closed, air becomes trapped in the front luggage compartment, increasing the closing effort. To properly close the hood, apply closing force as the hood is lowered. Then verify the hood is fully closed. Allowing the hood to close on its own weight may not be enough effort to properly latch the front luggage compartment hood. No additional adjustments are required for the hood / latch.
END SSM
I guess this makes sense. I'm surprised this doesn't vent out of the bottom drain plug? I guess this means Ford doesn't care and it is just designed to be hard to close.
Edit: I went out and looked under my hood. Did Ford think this SSM through? Theres no way air is becoming trapped because there is a drain plug and also vents at the rear of the sealed luggage compartment. Is there something I'm missing?
