Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 2,716 of its 2023 Maverick vehicles because a missing electrical circuit can prevent trailer taillights from turning on when using the vehicle’s trailer tow connector. This failure means the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for lighting and visibility. Dealers will install the missing electrical circuit to the engine bay wiring harness at no cost to owners.
If a trailer's taillights fail to illuminate while being towed, the trailer may be difficult for other drivers to see at night or in low-light conditions, significantly increasing the risk of a rear-end collision or crash.
