Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 11,239 model year 2022 Maverick vehicles because a defect in the Antilock Brake System (ABS) module can cause the brake lights to turn on even when the driver is not pressing the brake pedal. This malfunction means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for lighting and reflective equipment. To fix this issue, Ford dealers will perform a free software update to the ABS module.
If the brake lights illuminate without warning while driving, it can confuse other motorists behind the vehicle, significantly increasing the risk of a rear-end collision. There have been no specific reports of injuries mentioned in the recall data.
