Concern

25S14 Mach-E - High Voltage Battery Control Module Update

Defect, as DVSA words it

On affected vehicles software from a previous recall may not have been installed correctly. The high voltage battery main contactor may overheat which can result in either loss of power while driving or a vehicle no start condition.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Update and verify the software.
