34 recalls covering model years 2022, 2023, 2024. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Some Ford Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles may have front lower control arm ball joints that were installed or repaired incorrectly at the assembly plant. This can allow the control arm to disconnect from the front wheel. A detached control arm can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
⚠ NHTSA advises: do not drive this vehicle until repaired.
When towing a trailer, the integrated trailer module in certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles may lose communication with the vehicle. This can cause a loss of trailer brake and turn signal lights, or a loss of trailer brake function.
In certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, the engine block heater can crack and develop a coolant leak. If the block heater is plugged in when this happens, it can short circuit.
Ford is recalling certain Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Explorer, Escape, F-150, Expedition, Ranger, Mustang, Bronco Sport, Maverick, Transit and the Lincoln Aviator, Corsair, Navigator and Nautilus. A software problem can make the rearview camera show a blank picture when the vehicle is backing up. The picture can also stay on the screen after the driver has finished backing up. Dealers will update the rearview camera software at no cost. Letters were mailed to owners in September 2025.
Certain Ford Escape, Lincoln Corsair, and Ford Maverick hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles were repaired incorrectly under an earlier recall. If the engine fails, engine oil and fuel vapor may be released into the engine compartment and build up near hot engine or exhaust parts, which are possible sources of ignition. This may result in a fire in the engine compartment.
This recall covers Ford Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles that were already repaired once for a related problem, but the fix did not fully work. The control modules that manage the body and transmission may fail to notice when the 12-volt battery is running low. If that happens, the vehicle could lose electrical features like hazard lights, or lose the power needed to keep driving.
This recall covers Ford Maverick trucks that were fixed once already under an earlier recall, but the repair did not fully solve the problem. In certain situations, the computer module that controls the antilock brakes can turn on the brake lights even though the driver has not touched the brake pedal. Because of this, the vehicle does not meet a federal safety standard for lights on the outside of the car.
These Ford and Lincoln vehicles were already repaired once under an earlier recall for the same problem, but a software error in that repair means a towed trailer equipped with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes may not brake as it should. If the trailer's brakes don't work properly, it can take longer to bring the vehicle and trailer to a stop, which raises the chance of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain 2022 Maverick trucks that were previously repaired under an earlier recall, but the fix didn't correct the problem. The vehicle's body and powertrain control modules may fail to notice when the 12-volt battery's charge level changes. This means the vehicle may not detect a low battery the way it's supposed to.
These vehicles were repaired once already under an earlier recall, but that repair was not performed correctly. Because of this, the instrument panel cluster may fail to properly illuminate warning lights or gauges, such as the speedometer. When critical safety information on the instrument panel does not light up correctly, the driver may be missing information that is important while driving.
Ford is recalling certain Maverick, Escape, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles that were fixed incorrectly under an earlier recall for this same issue. A software problem in the hybrid transmission control module may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, which means the vehicle can suddenly lose the power that drives the wheels.
On certain 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles that were already repaired once under an earlier recall, the fix did not work correctly. If one of the rear turn signals stops working, the vehicle is supposed to make the remaining turn signal flash faster to warn the driver that something has failed. On these vehicles, that faster flash rate does not kick in, so the driver has no way to know a turn signal has stopped working.
On certain 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles that were already repaired once under an earlier recall, the fix did not work correctly. The body control module may inadvertently turn off one or both of the vehicle's rear tail lights. When this happens, the tail lights are not illuminated the way they are meant to be, which reduces how visible the vehicle is to other drivers on the road.
The 12-volt battery in these vehicles can degrade over time and suddenly stop working. If that happens, the vehicle could lose electrical accessories like the hazard lights, or lose the power needed to keep driving. Dealers will inspect the battery and replace it if needed, at no charge. Vehicles already repaired under an earlier recall for this issue will need this new remedy completed.
In some Ford Maverick trucks, the anchors in the back seat used to secure a child car seat may not be fully tightened. This happened because the anchor threads did not engage completely when the vehicle was built. As a result, a child seat attached to one of these anchors might not be held as securely in place as it should be.
On some Ford Maverick vehicles equipped with certain touch radios, the rearview camera image can freeze while backing up. This means the picture on the screen may stop updating and show an old image instead of what's actually behind the vehicle. Because the driver can't see clearly behind the vehicle in that moment, it's harder to notice people or objects back there while reversing.
Ford is recalling certain Maverick trucks that already received an earlier recall repair. In these trucks, the body and powertrain control modules may fail to detect when the 12-volt battery's charge is getting low. Because the low battery isn't detected, the truck could suddenly lose power to electrical accessories such as hazard lights, or lose the power needed to keep driving.
Ford is recalling certain Maverick, Bronco Sport, and Mustang Mach-E vehicles because the motor that drives the front windshield wipers can quit working. If that motor fails, the wipers stop moving. Dealers will look at the wiper motor and put in a new one if it needs replacing, at no cost to the owner. Ford has mailed letters to affected owners to let them know about the problem.
This recall covers certain Ford Maverick, Ford Escape, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles. A software problem in the system that manages the hybrid powertrain may cause the vehicle to shift into neutral unexpectedly, resulting in a loss of drive power.
On these Ford Maverick vehicles, the Body Control Module may accidentally turn off one or both rear tail lights. Dealers will update the Body Control Module software to fix the problem.
Some Maverick trucks have a label that lists the wrong tire pressure, tire size, and how much weight the vehicle can carry. Because the information is incorrect, you could end up putting too much weight in the vehicle or using the wrong tire pressure or spare tire size without realizing it. Ford will send owners a corrected label to fix the mistake.
On these Ford vehicles, the body and powertrain control modules may fail to notice when the 12-volt battery's charge gets low. If a low battery charge isn't detected, the vehicle could lose electrical accessories such as the hazard lights, or it could lose the power needed to keep driving.
Some Maverick and Bronco Sport vehicles have tires that may have been manufactured incorrectly. This can lead to a loss of vehicle handling and control.
Some 2024 Maverick fuel tanks have a gap where the two halves of the tank were joined, which can let fuel leak out.
On some Maverick Hybrid vehicles, the instrument panel cluster in front of the driver may fail to properly light up. This means gauges, such as the speedometer, and warning lights may not display the way they should. Without this information clearly visible, a driver may not notice important details about how the vehicle is running, which raises the chance of a crash.
Ford is recalling certain Maverick trucks. If one of the rear turn signals stops working, the vehicle is supposed to change the turn signal's flash rate to alert the driver that something is wrong, but on these vehicles it will not do that. This means the truck does not meet a federal safety standard for lights and signaling equipment. Dealers will update the body control module software to fix the issue, free of charge.
Certain hybrid and plug-in hybrid Escape, Maverick, and Corsair vehicles can suffer an engine failure that releases engine oil and fuel vapor into the engine compartment. This vapor can collect near hot parts of the engine or exhaust, close to sources that could ignite it. If that happens, it may start a fire in the engine compartment, which raises the risk of injury to anyone in or near the vehicle.
Ford is recalling certain 2023 Maverick pickups. An electrical circuit is missing from the wiring, so the taillights on a trailer may not light up the way they should when the trailer is plugged into the truck's tow connector. Because of this, these trucks do not meet the federal rule covering lamps, reflectors and related equipment. Dealers will add the missing circuit to the engine bay wiring at no charge.
On certain 2022 Ford Maverick trucks, a problem with the antilock brake system module may cause the brake lights to turn on even when you aren't pressing the brake pedal. Because the brake lights can light up on their own, other drivers behind you may get confused about whether you're braking, which increases the risk of a crash. This means the vehicle does not meet a federal safety standard for lights and reflective equipment.
Ford is recalling certain 2022 Maverick vehicles because the side-curtain air bags may not deploy properly. These air bags are covered by a federal safety standard for ejection mitigation, and this recall means the vehicles don't meet that standard. If the air bags don't work correctly, occupants get less protection than intended, and improper deployment increases the risk of injury in a crash.
If the hybrid engine fails, oil and fuel vapor could leak into the engine compartment. This vapor may collect near hot parts of the engine or exhaust system, which are potential ignition sources. This buildup could lead to a fire in the engine compartment, which increases the risk of injury. This affects certain Escape, Maverick, and Lincoln Corsair vehicles with hybrid or plug-in hybrid engines.
On some Ford F-150, Maverick, Expedition, Lincoln Navigator, F-250, F-350, F-450, and F-550 vehicles, a software error can affect the integrated trailer brake control. If you're towing a trailer with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes, those trailer brakes may not work as they should. Dealers will update the trailer brake control module software, at no cost to you. This can make it take longer to stop while towing.
Some Ford Maverick trucks may have had their fuel tank damaged by drill holes made while installing a spray-in bed liner. This damage to the fuel tank can lead to a fuel leak. A leaking fuel tank increases the risk of a fire, which is a serious safety concern for anyone driving or riding in the vehicle. Because of this problem, these trucks no longer meet federal fuel system safety standards.
On some Ford Maverick trucks, the rear seat belt buckles may not be properly attached to the floor of the vehicle. If the buckles aren't securely attached, the seat belts may not hold an occupant in place as they should during a crash. This could reduce how well the rear seat belts protect passengers if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
