   There’s a known recall. “2021 Mach-E models produced between Feb 24, 2020, and July 18, 2021, are at risk of the glass panels detaching or leaking.” But my car, a 2021 model, isn’t on the list. I just discovered that my headliner is stained and there’s a leak.

   The instrument panel center display fell out of the housing today. Keep in mind this display controls things like all HVAC, defrosting, audio, rear cross traffic camera, and is the sole access to the front trunk (frunk). It looks like two seals on the top failed.

The screen fits back into the casing but there is no mechanism to attach it…
