Ford’s electric version of its legendary Mustang muscle car has been hit with a recall.

Ford is recalling 1,175 of its 2022 Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles due to concerns that the right-rear axle half shafts may have a manufacturing defect, according to Ford Authority.

The defect means that the part could break.

Those things are just ugly and, IMHO, anathema to the Mustang brand and name.

You're right but I don't see an axle issue as having anything to do with the Mustangs in question being EV's. All vehicle manufacturers have mechanical issues with car models. Considering Ford's history of vehicle fires I expected something like that not a quality control issue on a mechanical part.

I feel the same way about the four door Mustangs currently on the road.

The issue might be a different torque profile from the EV than you would get with an ICE. You know there are going to be drivers who peel out with that EV, and the power curve has to be different than it would be with, say, a 302 or 351.

There is no end to the morons with no driving skills that by high performance cars whether Mustang, Camaro, Charger, Corvette or the outrageously expensive marks and try to be impressive with burnouts or just punching it and destroy their cars because they don't know how to handle the torque. Some days I que them up on YouTube for a laugh.
