What's recalled

Component: Exterior lighting (brake lights, service brakes)

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Maverick vehicles. Under certain circumstances, the Antilock Brake System (ABS) module may cause the brake lights to illuminate without the driver applying the brakes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."

The risk

Unintended illumination of the brake lights may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy and its status

Dealers will update the software in the ABS module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 9, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22C24.

Status: NHTSA lists Nov 9, 2022 as the owner-notification date for this campaign.
