Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 217 model year 2024 Maverick vehicles because the fuel tanks may have been manufactured with an open joint between the molds. This defect can allow fuel to leak out of the tank. If your vehicle is affected, Ford dealers will replace the fuel tank entirely with a new one at no cost to you.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as a spark or hot engine component, significantly increases the risk of a vehicle fire. This defect may also cause the Malfunction Indicator Lamp to illuminate on the dashboard.
