Typical electrical symptoms owners report

  • Vehicles lose motive power and electrical power while driving, with the instrument panel, power steering, and brakes failing to function at the same time.
  • Dashboard warning lights flash all at once with a message telling the driver to stop the vehicle safely, sometimes followed by smoke filling the cabin and trunk.
  • The Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) and EV battery cell balancing circuit get stuck on or off, requiring repeated dealer diagnosis and repair attempts.
  • The high-voltage battery becomes inoperable due to a BECM voltage issue, leaving the vehicle undrivable.
  • Many owners who received the NHTSA Campaign Number 23V440000 recall notice report that replacement parts were not available, leaving the repair unresolved for longer than they consider reasonable.
  • Some owners say Ford's recall instructions to avoid fully charging the high-voltage battery are unclear and lack a way to limit charge level, risking battery damage.
