2024 FORD MAVERICK Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2024 Ford Maverick has 14 recalls, the most serious being a powertrain control software issue on hybrid models that can cause the transmission to shift into neutral without warning, cutting drive power and raising the risk of a crash. This same underlying defect accounts for several recalls, as earlier repair attempts did not fully resolve the problem for all affected vehicles. A separate powertrain concern involves the body and powertrain control modules failing to detect a low 12-volt battery, which can knock out electrical accessories like hazard lights or cause a loss of drive power. On hybrid models only, a fuel tank seam may not be fully sealed and can leak fuel, creating a fire risk near an ignition source. The second-row child seat tether anchors may not be properly threaded or secured, meaning the tether strap can pull free in a crash and leave the child seat unsupported. On the visibility side, the rearview camera can freeze while reversing, and the body control module can switch off one or both rear tail lights without warning. The turn signal system may also fail to change its flash rate when a rear signal burns out, so the driver gets no indication that other drivers cannot see the turn being signaled. Two related recalls cover an incorrect tire and loading information label on certain XLT trim trucks with the FX4 and 4k tow packages, where wrong capacity and pressure figures could lead to an overloaded vehicle or tire failure.
