What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
The repair (a software update) is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 25V127000.
