Ford Maverick Turn Signal Failure Missing Driver Alert Recall

Ford is recalling 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles because the body control module may fail to alert drivers when a rear turn signal stops working, increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This vehicle defect involves a critical safety system (turn signals) with documented increased crash risk and no reported injuries. Per the severity rubric, it meets the criterion: 'risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported,' warranting a High (3) severity score.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles due to a software issue in the body control module. When a rear turn signal stops working, the vehicle fails to adjust the turn signal flash rate to alert the driver of the failure.

A turn signal that fails silently, without warning the driver, means other vehicles will not be notified that the recalled vehicle is turning. This violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108 and significantly increases the risk of a crash.

Approximately 189,814 Maverick vehicles are affected by this recall. Ford will provide a free software update to correct the body control module programming. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 16, 2024. Owners should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 to schedule the update, or contact NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.
