What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Contact a Ford dealer or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule the repair.
3. The repair — recalibrating the control modules — is free.
