Ford Mustang Mach-E 2021–2026

Summary

6 model years in 1 generation, 682 owner complaints in total.
Within their own generation, 2021 drew the most complaints in the first three years.
These are complaint counts, not failure rates: they are not divided by how many cars were sold, because no public source reports U.S. sales by model year.
Half of the complaints that give a mileage were filed by 18,000 miles (64 of them give one).
Owners reported 41 crashes, 2 fires, 17 injuries and 0 deaths across these model years.
22 recalls and 4 federal investigations cover these model years; 1 investigation is still open.

2021–2026

Each year is counted over the same span: complaints received up to two calendar years after its model year. A year is compared only when that span is over and it holds at least 50 complaints. Median of the comparable years: 101.

Model year	All complaints	First three years	Most reported system	Note
2021	351	198	Electrical System	most complaints
2022	139	90	Electrical System
2023	129	101	Electrical System
2024	48	48	Electrical System	not compared
2025	14	14	Electrical System	not compared
2026	1	1	Brakes	not compared

Electrical System is the largest group in 3 of the 3 compared years.

Every model year

A model year gets its own page when four sources cover it, it holds at least 50 complaints, and it either compares with the other years of its generation or shows one system in 40% or more of the complaints that name a component. The rest are listed here with their figures.

Service bulletins

Ford issued 893 service bulletins covering these model years, most often about electrical system.

A bulletin tells dealers how to fix a known condition. It is not a recall and not a defect finding. Most bulletins cover several model years at once, so a bulletin listed here may not be specific to one year. The number of bulletins tracks how long and how widely a model was sold, so it is not a measure of reliability.

How to read this page

Complaint counts are not failure rates. A model that sells more cars draws more complaints, and owners file more after news coverage or a recall. That is why years are compared only with other years of the same generation, over the same span, and never with other models.
