Ford Maverick Pickups Recalled for Faulty Taillights
A software defect might prevent one or both indicator lights from illuminating
Ford is recalling more than 242,000 Maverick trucks from the 2022 through 2024 model years because their rear position lights might not illuminate. Although the brake lights, turn signals, and headlights will still work, other drivers might not be able to see the vehicle if its position lights—also known as marker lights—are off at night.
Ford Maverick Recall Details
Vehicles recalled: Ford Maverick pickup trucks manufactured between Feb. 3, 2024, and March 21, 2024.
The problem: The BCM was calibrated for the current needed to illuminate a single-position lightbulb. But there are two position lights on these vehicles. As a result, the BCM will need a software update to ensure both position lights glow at the same time.
The fix: Ford dealerships will update the software free of charge.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may call Ford at 866-436-7332.
NHTSA campaign number: 24V293 Ford’s own number for this recall is 24S24.
