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.

Australia's Once-Beloved Holden Commodore Is Now Dead
Australia's Once-Beloved Holden Commodore Is Now Dead
Cruel SUVs and crossovers and the normie’s near-unquenchable desire for them have claimed another automotive victim, this time Australia’s iconic Holden Commodore. Just because nobody is buying the mid-size sedan, from its lineup, which will now only be SUVs and, as the Aussies like to call El Camino-type trucks,...

VW Pivoting To SUVs: There Is No Way This Decision Could Come Back To Haunt Us
would like you to know it is confident. Confident in its new and growing lineup of crossovers and SUVs. So confident, it just did a random confident survey to double-check that yep, the people who bought SUVs like SUVs and would likely buy another. Totally nothing to worry about. ,...

At $6,900, Does This 1989 Ford Taurus Mean The SHO Must Go On?
At $6,900, Does This 1989 Ford Taurus Mean The SHO Must Go On?
The seller of today’s describes it as being in ‘unbelievable condition’ and the pictures prove that out. Let’s see if this amazingly clean hot Taurus’s price is also outside the realms of believability. Yesterday’s was, to use basketball parlance, a slam dunk. Its poor paint couldn’t overwhelm its inherent...

At $1,700, Could This Somewhat Rough 1998 Volvo V70 Still Make A Good ‘R’-gument?
When it comes to cars, you don’t have to be pretty if you’re pretty damn quick. Today’s V70R is aesthetically challenged but still looks like it’s got some get up and go left in it. Let’s see if this sporty wagon’s price ensures it will sell fast too. Canada...

Somebody Nabbed This 13,000-Mile 1990 Toyota 4Runner 'Barn Find' For $4,000
After reading about my , a reader shared with me the incredible deal he scored on a perfect second-generation with under 13,000 miles on its odometer. Just look at this minty off-roader. “I am now the second owner of a 1990 4runner 4x4 in red with 12,700 miles (thats...
