What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 866-436-7332, to schedule the software update.
