What's wrong?
For NHTSA campaign 25V441, the Bussed Electrical Center in the 2022 Ford Mustang Mach E is part of the high-voltage battery system. Its main contactors act like heavy-duty electrical switches, opening and closing to connect battery power to the propulsion system when the vehicle is ready to drive.
On affected extended range vehicles, DC fast charging and repeated wide-open pedal use can generate enough heat to damage those contactors. Heat and wear can keep a contactor from closing correctly, or leave it welded closed. If it cannot close while driving, the vehicle displays "Stop Safely Now" and immediately loses motive power, while 12V systems, power brakes, and steering remain functional.
Ford says the software is designed to detect contactor damage and warn the driver. Warning signs include a wrench light, a diagnostic trouble code, or a no-start condition after the next key cycle. If the contactor fails to close while driving, the warning is "Stop Safely Now."
