Affected vehicles include model-year 2022-24 Mavericks. The vehicle’s body control module may turn off one or both of the rear lights while the vehicle is in use, reducing the vehicle’s visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the BCM software for free. Ford will notify owners May 20, but those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 24S24), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
