## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2023\-2025 Mustang Mache E vehicles that received a new Battery Energy Control Module \(BECM\) during a prior repair. The battery energy control module software may cause an incorrect state of charge to display in the vehicle, or lead to an increased risk of a high voltage battery fire after repeated DC Fast Charging cycles.


## What can happen

An inaccurate state\-of\-charge reading can lead to an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of crash. Additionally, a high voltage battery fire increases the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will update the BECM software, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed September 18, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S68. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.
