What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ford dealer to schedule the software update (1-866-436-7332).
3. The repair is free.
