Deliveries of the 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E will be delayed for hundreds of customers in North America for additional quality review, work that will be completed in the U.S., the company confirmed to the Free Press on Saturday.

We want to ensure they meet the quality our customers expect and deserve, said Ford spokeswoman Emma Bergg.
