Buying a used 2022 Ford Maverick? Check these 28 recalls first

28 NHTSA recalls · 150 owner complaints on file · 1 do-not-drive

Ten recalls, six of them critical. The suspension campaign shared with the Bronco Sport is the one item flagged stop-driving until repaired. Several others involve fire: a fuel tank that may have been drilled, engine and hybrid engine fire risk, and a follow-up recall for repairs done incorrectly. Rear seat belt buckles, side-curtain airbag deployment, trailer brakes and loss of drive power round it out. The 150 unverified NHTSA complaints skew electrical and powertrain, with four fires reported.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Get written proof the suspension recall was completed, since it carries a stop-driving warning
3. Ask whether the hybrid fire repair was redone under the follow-up recall
4. Tug-test the rear seat belt buckles and test trailer brakes if you tow
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
