Ford is issuing a safety recall for certain 2021–2024 model year Bronco Sport SUVs and 2022-2023 model year Maverick Trucks. The recall includes more than 272,000 vehicles due to potential internal issues.
According to the recall notice:
The current software for the Body Control Module and Powertrain Control Module is unable to detect — and thus compensate for — the decreasing performance in the life of a 12-volt battery. This could result in the vehicle unable to restart while using the Auto Start-Stop Technology or stalling while coming to a stop at low speeds. This is accompanied by a loss of 12-volt accessories like lights, radio, air conditioning etc.
To have the software recalibrated, take your Bronco Sport SUV or Maverick truck to a Ford Dealership or Lincoln Retailer. To see if your vehicle is included, enter your VIN here.
You can book an appointment online, in your FordPass® App, or contact your local Ford Dealer.
For questions or concerns about this safety recall, call 1-866-436-7332.
