Buying a used 2024 Ford Maverick? Check these 15 recalls first
Three critical recalls stand out: a fuel tank that can leak at a seam, the Ford and Lincoln engine block heater fire risk, and the stop-driving suspension campaign shared with the Bronco Sport. The rest lean toward electrical and convenience faults — tail lights shutting off, wipers quitting, a freezing backup camera, and child seat tether anchors that may not hold. NHTSA has 70 owner complaints, unverified, led by powertrain and electrical, with six crashes, three injuries and no fires reported.
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.
- Verify the suspension and fuel tank seam recalls are closed on this VIN
- Test wipers, tail lights and the reverse camera during the inspection
- If you use child seats, confirm the tether anchor recall remedy was applied
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
