It must be tough to build electric cars. Nearly a year after the first reports of a Tesla Model Y on the highway, Ford is recalling thousands of Mustang Mach-E crossovers for similar glass-related issues.

Ford has issued visible through Transit Canada, concerning the adhesive used in the roof and windshield of the 2021 Mach-E. The first recall, covering 3,178 cars, says that windshields “may not be properly attached” and could “separate from the vehicle” in the event of an accident.

The second, covering a more modest 1,812 Mach-Es, states that the “glass panel of the panoramic roof may not be properly attached” and may “separate from the vehicle.” Unlike the windshield recall, this one makes no mention of an accident being necessary for the car to fall apart.

While the recalls are likely entirely unrelated to the electric drivetrain, it’s hard not to draw comparisons to the other battery-powered crossover known for becoming an impromptu Targa. The recall makes particularly relevant, coming less than a year after Ford EV exec Darren Palmer’s thinly-veiled comments about Tesla build quality. :

“The doors fit properly, the plastics and other materials color-match, the bumpers don’t fall off, the roof doesn’t come off when you wash it, the door handles don’t get stuck in cold weather. ...”

Technically, he did specify roofs coming off while washing. Roofs coming off on the highway? Totally fair game, I guess.

While the recall hasn’t yet made its way to US-delivered Mustang Mach-Es, an earlier recall for loose front subframe bolts did apply in both territories. Concerned Mach-E owners can keep an eye on the for any updates.

The 2019 Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo Is The Dream Wagon That Keeps Up With Supercars
The is a dream car in more ways than you might think. Of course it’s expensive; something many of us can only fantasize about buying. But it’s also the literal stuff of dreams. Something that shouldn’t exist in real life. Something that feels impossible. This is, after all, a 550...

The 2018 Toyota 4Runner Is Almost The Ultimate SUV
About 50 miles from nowhere and four hours to daybreak, I squinted through the steep windshield into a soup of sand and fumes while our 2018 TRD Off-Road Premium plowed across open desert. We were hunting the horizon for adventure or trouble and rest assured, this truck loves to find...

Toyota’s Land Cruiser may get a lot of love, but as today’s Trooper proves, there can be a lot to like in these old Isuzus too. Maybe even their value. In the Jay Leno episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the former Tonight Show host tells Jerry that comedy...

Remember when Volvos were boxy and fast? Today’s V70 R remembers. Let’s see if this hot box’s price makes it even more memorable. The fusillade of comments on yesterday’s , complaining that it was ‘just a Camry’ and that it looked ‘too rusty’ proved a woeful point—that a number of...
