TapTechNews reports on May 11 that Changan Ford has filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation in accordance with the Regulations on the Recall of Defective Auto Products and its implementation rules. The following vehicles are being recalled:
Effective immediately, a recall of some Edge L vehicles manufactured between August 1, 2022, and August 2, 2023, totaling 14,883 units.
The recalled vehicles may have an electronic parking brake motor short circuit due to manufacturing issues, posing a safety risk as the parking brake might fail to engage or release.
This recall campaign is initiated following a defect investigation by the State Administration for Market Regulation. Under the investigation's influence, Changan Ford will replace the electronic parking brake motor at no cost to owners through authorized dealers to mitigate the safety concerns.
Emergency measures include advising owners to shift their vehicle into park and contact a nearby authorized dealer for inspection and repair should the electronic parking brake system fail.
Starting July 1, 2024, a recall for some Mustang Mach-E electric vehicles produced between July 27, 2021, and April 6, 2022, totaling 398 units.
This recall stems from potential overheating issues with the main relay of the high voltage distribution box in the power battery due to design and part discrepancies, which can cause the relay to stick or disconnect anomalously. In extreme cases, this may lead to the vehicle being unable to start or losing power during motion, representing a safety hazard.
Changan Ford will replace the power battery's high voltage distribution box for free and upgrade the power control module and battery control module software for vehicles in the recall through authorized dealers.
