Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 242,669 of its 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles because the rear tail lights may fail to turn on. A software error in the Body Control Module can accidentally deactivate one or both tail lights, making the truck harder for other drivers to see. Owners can have this issue fixed by visiting a Ford dealer for a free software update.

Risk

If the tail lights fail to illuminate while driving, the vehicle becomes less visible to other motorists at night or in low-light conditions, significantly increasing the risk of a rear-end collision.
