2025 Maverick block heater repair coming?

[MysticalMan]

Huh mine was built September/October 2025.

Just double checked on the Ford recall search and I am safe.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I think this recall affects 2022-2024 Ecoboost Mavericks. I haven't seen the fix available yet.

Tim there was a recall issued for 2025s and is not drivetrain specific it’s an issue with the heater itself.

Has anyone been able to get a refund for the block heater option they paid for? I saw somewhere that was an option, instead of waiting possibly years to get a safe, working block heater.

There is recall 25S52 that is for 2025 Maverick both hybrid and ecoboost built between April 11, 2024 and May 7, 2025. No fix yet.

I just checked with my dealer, the parts are in and I have an appointment to get it taken care of this week.

Dealer advised me of the block heater recall and asked when I wanted to bring it in. I said, "no problem, let's book it and also do an oil change and transmission flush and re-fill". Dropped the Maverick off this morning. Dealer calls and tells me front rotors need machining. That, plus the oil change and the transmission flush and fill = $1000. Oh, and the block heater? They advised me when I picked it up that the parts aren't available yet.
FFS.

You need a lower "Trust Threshold". When they say "You need this or that" think about it, say NO or run away! The rotors on my '24 look like new. I've done a lot of brake jobs and just one time I replaced the rotors on an old Saturn. Maybe I had them turned once when they were pulsing.

Well I feel a bit mislead, the info from my dealer was the "parts for the heater recall are in". I just picked it up, the part that was in was a plug for where the heater used to be. They explained that the heater was being returned to Ford, and when the replacement heater was available I would be notified. Blah. At least it had to go in anyway to get the other recalls done. I was going to get the complimentary oil change done but they wanted $65 to upgrade from the provided synthetic blend to full synthetic! Nope.
