2022 FORD MAVERICK Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2022 Ford Maverick has 32 recalls, the most serious being a cluster of powertrain and fuel risks: hybrid models can unexpectedly shift into neutral and lose drive power, a damaged fuel tank can leak and create a fire risk, and on 2.5L hybrid engines, an engine failure can release oil and fuel vapor near hot components, potentially causing an engine compartment fire. Several of these drivetrain concerns trace back to prior repair attempts that did not fully resolve the issue, with control module software on hybrid models requiring additional fixes to properly detect low 12-volt battery conditions. A weak or failed 12-volt battery can also cut hazard lights or kill drive power entirely. Side curtain airbags on certain trucks may not deploy correctly in a crash, reducing occupant protection. A number of electrical and lighting issues round out the list. The rearview camera can freeze or fail to display when reversing, reducing rear visibility. Brake lights may activate without the driver pressing the pedal, which can confuse following drivers. Tail lights can shut off while driving, making the truck harder to see at night. When a rear turn signal bulb fails, the dashboard telltale does not change its flash rate to alert the driver. On hybrid models, the instrument cluster may fail to illuminate gauges and warning lights. Some of these lighting defects also reflect earlier repairs that needed follow-up corrections.
