So, my Ford account show a recall for a car I don't even have in my possession yet...

Recall Notice
REAR SUBFRAME BOLTS LOOSE OR MISSING

Still shows as in production even though I know it shipped a while back and likely on the Immacolata.

Anyone else seeing this?

Not very confidence inspiring...
When is yours build? - Mine is build 6. feb, shows - No recall, at one point Ford fixed production lines. All cars will have QA in Antwerp, before delivery.

I wasn't aware that it has been mentioned what our cars are undergoing in Antwerp apart from "additional QC checks"
I've done a search through the thread, it appears since early March some of us have just assumed the QCs would involve the bolt checks. The official stance appears to have always been “75 cars involved" and only ever mentioned as US.

We can only guess/speculate that this means they have found more or they are being very cautious.

I think you will find that the 75 was what had been delivered to customers, the total amount was closer to 1300.

Hi All, new on here but have been reading posts since Nov. Ordered SR RWD Black in Nov20 through Company Car scheme, no news when it's due but not holding my breath. Saw this badboy on the M25 yesterday, 70 plate, first one I've ever seen but at least now I know they exist! All on it's own on the other carriageway, looked good, mind you it was moving and we weren't so that's a plus!

This was taken from a Ford US press release;

Affected vehicles: 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles built at the Ford Cuautitlan Assembly plant.

Number of vehicles affected: 1,348 vehicles with:

  • 1,258 vehicles in the U.S.
  • 90 vehicles in Canada
The fix: dealers will inspect the subframe bolts and tighten if necessary.

I thought ours were having our bolts looked at in Antwerp? Thus it is indeed a uk issue.
On the FR thread, there are folks who received the same warning on their account (I didn't). So, I believe that this is a much wider issue than originally told.

That speaker he pointed at near the video start, is that the one to make a fake car sound at low speeds?

I just got a call from My Dealer, Gates Stevenage and they have been given instruction by Ford, they will be matching the price I was quoted that included the grant. This is not a maybe or fingers crossed, he has confirmed this to me.

yes, that's the one.

That's great news!! Hopefully this will filter out to all dealers and we will get it in writing!!
