Ford bulletin SSM 54995
Ford filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jul 9, 2026, received Jul 29, 2026, about the fuel/propulsion system. It names 4 model years (2023–2026). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationSome 2023-2026 Mustang Mach-E vehicles equipped with a lithium iron/ion phosphate (LFP) standard range battery (minor feature code HTHAH) may exhibit a battery energy control module (BECM) state of health reading that over-estimates the actual high voltage battery state of health after a BECM replacement directed by the Workshop Manual (WSM). This may be due to the software in the BECM. To correct this condition, download and run the "BECM-High Voltage Battery Capacity Relearn" application using the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) scan tool. For claiming, use causal part 10B687 and labor operations 12651D and 12651D4. The engineering team is currently working on a permanent software solution which is expected to be available in Q4 of 2026. If a vehicle exhibits this concern, submit a Global Concern Report (GCR). To submit a report, click on the "Submit Global Concern Report (GCR)" link at the upper right of the Professional Technician System (PTS) Vehicle ID screen (vehicle identification number �VIN¨ required) and fill out the form.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Ford SSM 54995 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the SSM 54995 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does SSM 54995 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 4 model years: 2026 Ford Mustang Mach-E, 2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E, 2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E, 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
