Ford has issued a second recall for 757 Maverick small trucks from model year 2022 because dealers failed to repair them as part of a recall earlier this year.
Ford recalled more than 400,000 Maverick pickups and Bronco Sport SUVs in April because they might fail to detect an empty battery, leaving them unable to start. Dealers fixed the problem with a software update.
However, dealers logged some Mavericks as repaired despite not installing the download in those trucks, leaving 757 owners unknowingly driving Mavericks that weren’t repaired, according to Ford’s filing with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The fix is simple – dealers will install the software this time.
Software updates are among the quickest repair appointments, and dealers never charge for recall-related repairs. Manufacturers recall many cars to fix safety defects, sometimes more than once. Automakers try to reach every owner to ask them to bring the vehicle in for repair, but they rarely get them all. Millions of cars on American roads need free recall repairs. Check the easy VIN tool at our recall center to determine if your car is one of them.
