Affected vehicles could lose power while in motion, but Ford has temporarily released an update to solve some issues.<\/p>\n<p>The problem resides in the high voltage battery contactors, which could overheat and weld to the contact points, which isn\u2019t good. The recall covers new Mach-E vehicles awaiting delivery and over 48,000 cars already in customers\u2019 driveways.<\/p>\n<p>Ford confirmed that vehicles that could face this problem would slowly and safely stop if the malfunction occurs. That\u2019s because while the car will lose power, the 12V systems handling steering, brakes, and other safety mechanisms will be unaffected. Coasting to a stop safely, but also leaving owners stranded and waiting for a tow truck.<\/p>\n<p>However, it looks like Ford found a band-aid solution and has released a temporary fix for the battery recall. According to the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macheforum.com\/site\/threads\/battery-contactor-recall-software-22s41-now-available-at-dealers.19137\/\">MachEForums<\/a>, Ford is rolling out an optional (but highly recommended) over-the-air software update to vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>This new update will not prevent the problem, but if it does occur, power will be cut to 33% allowing owners to get off the road safely and safely drive vehicles to a dealership. So, as we said earlier, a band-aid and quality of life update for potentially affected vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>Owners can take their Mach-E into a dealership for the fix or <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ly it themselves. Ford\u00a0dealers will \u201creprogram the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), BECM, and SOBDMC using the Ford Diagnostic Repair System.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The patch is available now at dealerships throughout the U.S. and Canada, or it\u2019ll be an optional over-the-air update you can apply at home later this summer. Then, we\u2019re expecting a full physical recall with replacement battery contactors sometime in Q3 of this year.<\/p>\n<p><small>via <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/driveteslacanada.ca\/news\/ford-mach-e-battery-connector-recall-software-patch\/\">DriveTesla<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
