Ford Recalls Over 450,000 Compact SUVs and Pickup Trucks Due to Potential Battery Issue

Ford is recalling over 450,000 compact SUVs and pickup trucks in the United States due to a potential battery issue that could lead to a loss of drive power. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued an alert regarding the recall, which affects Ford Bronco Sport SUVs made between 2021 to 2024 and Ford Maverick pickups made between 2022 to 2023, totaling 456,565 units.

Ford has discovered that an undetected low battery charge could cause a loss of electrical accessories like hazard lights or drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. The automaker is taking proactive measures to address the issue by committing to customer safety and satisfaction. According to Ford, safety is their top priority and they are taking immediate action to fix the problem promptly and effectively.

Affected owners can visit a Ford dealership for a free fix by recalibrating the body control module and power train control modules. Alternatively, customers can use Ford’s mobile service and pick-up and delivery options for a repair. Ford plans to mail notification letters to owners by May 13 and can be contacted at 1-866-436-7332. The recall number is 24S24.
