Buying a used 2023 Ford Maverick? Check these 21 recalls first
Ten recalls, four critical, including the stop-driving suspension campaign shared with the Bronco Sport, hybrid engine fire risk, and a separate recall covering repairs that left the fire risk in place. A striking cluster involves losing drive power — four separate campaigns — plus sudden battery failure and incorrectly built tires. That pattern matches the 264 unverified NHTSA complaints, led by powertrain at 94, electrical at 78 and engine at 70, with nine crashes and one fire.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm the suspension recall repair is documented before test driving
- Ask whether any loss-of-power or battery-failure recalls remain open on this VIN
- Check the tire DOT codes against the incorrectly built tire recall
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
