Ford Australia has confirmed it’s currently enforcing a stop-sale for its Mustang Mach-E electric SUV.
The reason for the stop-sale is due to two outstanding recalls that are affecting the car globally.
The first recall relates to the car’s electronic door latches. It has affected 1234 examples of the Mustang Mach-E.

“In the event of unexpected 12V battery discharge below 8.4V at key-off, the front door electronic latches retain their last lock/unlock status,” explained a Ford Australia spokesperson.
“If the driver or front passenger exit[s] the front doors using the mechanical inside release handles, the doors may remain locked when they are re-closed.
“This may result in an unexpected lock-out condition for the driver and front passenger without the ability to immediately re-enter the vehicle.”
The second recall relates to the Mustang Mach-E’s multimedia screen potentially freezing and causing a software reboot. If this happens when reversing, the reversing camera may be frozen, delayed or missing.
This particular recall hasn’t just affected the Mustang Mach-E. A total of 29,874 vehicles are affected across the Mustang Mach-E, F-150, Ranger, Everest, Mustang, Transit and Transit Custom.
At this stage Ford doesn’t have a timeline on when a fix for either recall will be implemented locally.
In the meantime it thanks prospective owners for their patience and encourages customers to keep in touch with their dealers.
The Mustang Mach-E has been on sale in Australia since late-2023. Three variants are offered – Select, Premium and GT – and pricing starts from $64,990 before on-road costs.
Ford updated the Mustang Mach-E in late 2024, bringing a tweaked rear electric motor with more torque. It also allowed for more driving range.
At the time Ford Australia said the updated Mustang Mach-E would arrive in the second half of 2025. A Ford Australia spokesperson said more information is due in the “coming weeks”.
