NHTSA expands Ford investigation

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is upgrading its investigation into 129,222 Ford vehicles due to multiple crashes caused by its hands-free driving technology BlueCruise. NHTSA launched the investigation after receiving notification of two fatal crashes in April 2024 involving Ford Mustang Mach-E models equipped with BlueCruise. Currently, NHTSA is upgrading its investigation into Ford vehicles to an engineering analysis, which covers Mustang Mach-E models from model years 2021 to 2024.
