What was wrong

Defect

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."

Risk

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

Manufacturer remedy

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.
