Even a small chunk of trim can turn into a surprise obstacle at highway speeds.That said, Ford is calling back 86,543 of its Mustang Mach-E because the rear side quarter window trims might decide to part ways with the car while you're cruising down the road. The recall covers 2023 to 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E models built between February 17, 2023 and October 8, 2024.What Went Wrong?Ford traced the problem back to a Mexican supplier, where a new assembly jig sped up the trim installation process. Sounds good, but the faster method also cut short the primer's curing time, which means the glue holding the trim in place might not be up to the job. The result: trim that's more likely to wiggle loose or make a dramatic exit.AdvertisementAdvertisementAccording to the recall report, Ford had received 219 reports of loose or detached trim pieces on affected US vehicles as of July this year. Fortunately, the company said it is not aware of any crashes or injuries related to the condition.For owners, there are obvious warning signs: trim that looks like it's barely hanging on, or maybe some extra wind noise, squeaks, or rattles that weren't there before. Ford started digging into the issue after warranty claims spiked in May 2026. When they handed a rogue trim piece over to the NHTSA, investigators pointed out that its sharp edges could be bad news for anyone unlucky enough to meet it on the road.Here's What Owners Should DoTo fix things, Ford dealers will check out the rear quarter window trim and swap it out if needed – no charge, of course. The new fix should keep everything glued down where it belongs.Dealers will get the heads-up in early September 2026, and owners should watch their mailboxes between September 10 and 14 for official recall letters. If you drive a Mustang Mach-E, you'll also be able to check your VIN online starting September 7 to see if your Mach-E is on the list.AdvertisementAdvertisementIn the meantime, owners should keep an ear out for weird wind noise or check for wobbly trim around the rear quarter windows. It might seem like a small thing, but catching it early could save you – and everyone else on the road – a lot of trouble.View the 4 images of this gallery on the original articleThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Aug 2, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
