On August 8, 2026, my 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E Premium experienced a serious electronic lockout. The vehicle was running, with the air conditioning and music on, when the doors locked and I was unable to regain entry. My keys, phone, purse, medication, and other essential belongings were inside the vehicle. I attempted multiple methods to regain access, including the driverâs door keypad, but I was unsuccessful.

This is linked to tracking case 11768528. I wanted to provide the tsb: 23-2040. The fault causes the pre-collision assist to become disabled.
The Pre-Collision Assist becomes suddenly unavailable when driving over uneven surfaces, including bumps and rumble strips. When the service center of my local ford dealer investigated this code, they discovered it is a software issue, and the only way to remedy the problem is to perform 5 software updates and an alignment: The updates are on: IPMA, PSCM, CCM, CMR, PDW. IPMA alignment. There are no other solutions to correct the issue to prevent the safety feature from failing. The impact of this failure is an increased chance of a collision due to sudden loss of front collision detection.
