What the heck is that supposed to mean "soon" your battery "may" not be healthy enough to start your vehicle? That is quite an ambivalent statement if ive ever heard one..LOL definitely get it tested though.
Goodluck

Car starts fine. All this smart technology is pretty stupid technology in my opinion.
Probably some app update bug some moron released before testing properly:
I’ll test but I bet nothing is wrong

Got the same thing last November. It means your battery is on its way out. I had the mobile service replace mine under warranty. All scheduled through the app. Just follow the prompts. If you get that message and your car is still under warranty you get a new battery no questions asked.

Car was built November 24 so battery only 1.5 years old. Faulty batteries from Ford?
Must be if they are warrantying

I'm seeing there was a major batter recall by Ford back on 24 but can't find anything on Mustang being affected

I've got the same message on my app as well. Car runs and starts fine though....
Battery is less than 3 years old.

Yes, quite a few owners have had bad batteries... get a new one under warranty and carry on.

I have a 24 and was getting the same notification. Didn’t want to chance it so got a new battery a couple months ago. It was covered by the warranty.

I wonder if I let the dealership know, if they will let me just bring in for exchange. I don't like anyone but me touching my car.
Anything special I should know when replacing battery on these new s650?

Yeah, you must have missed the discussion when I did mine. Mine was less than 2 years old as well. But it hind site it explained a lot of the little glitches I was having. I dont think the factory batteries are worth a shit. The new one has a 3 year/36k warranty so hopefully it will last longer.

Nope. Pretty straight forward. Try the mobile service.

Weird , my 15gt had original battery for 6 years.
Mach 1 , almost 4 years
Never had to change one

We in Arizona are used to frequently replacing batteries. I replaced my 2015 mustang battery twice in 7 years.

Yeah, the heat is way worse than the cold we have here in Chicago
