This RECALL is only for Mavericks Built on or before April 11, 2023.
It does not affect any new Mavericks built on or after April 12, 2023
The only reason I can think of Ford saying Delivery Hold is for dealerships that having unsold Mavericks on their that were built on or before April 11, 2023.
Those unsold Mavericks either are either trade-ins or ones that have huge markups causing no one wanting to buy them.

Once it is sold the delivery hold would no longer apply, so only for new vehicles still on the lot.
You're thinking too much into a standard part of any recall. Better to include the guidance about a delivery/demonstration hold when you don't need it than leave it out when you do. Chances are, they don't have someone check for new, unsold vehicles in inventory when writing these docs. Easier to just include it on the safe side anyway.

You hit the nail on the head!! I know I have recalls on my 22 XLT FX4, 8k miles, but scared to death to bring it in because I know something's going wrong, my truck has no problems now is running great and don't have a mark on it. I had a oil change at 3k and THEY put REFUSED AII RECALLS ON RO to cover their asses which is standard I would of done same thing, thinking I would do them at the next service giving them more time and experience in doing all these recalls. But now it time for next service and still concerned, scary why? I worked for a dealer for 40 years, believe me they don't give a oil change, tire rotation and recalls to their TOP guys its always the kid they hired from Jiffy lube. Don't get me wrong these kids have to learn Thats why we used to pair the up with the OLD guys to keep a eye on them, I don't think all dealers do that and some of the top techs dont want to be slowed down , time is money for these guys.

Their were never a lot of recalls on the Pinto, they were descent cars for the time, only problem was they Exploded when hit in the rear.
This is accurate. I would imagine the impact would be limited as compared to my now 6+ month wait for a damn camera on my Explorer.
Or a MY24. After all these years manufacturers still need at least two years to work out the bugs. Otherwise your a guinea pig tester.
Never had a Pinto but my dad bought my mom a Chevy Vega. It had unpredictable engine backfires that could not be resolved. My mom refused to drive it and traded it in before it completed its first year.
Very happy I wasn't an early adopter of a Maverick. Not one of my 9 new Fords were ever recalled. This still could be that one though.......

At least it didn't BLOW UP.
They didn't but the engines were junk on the early ones at 40K miles. Aluminum block, and no steel sleeves.

I had one of the first ever Hybrids.
One of the first 10,000 Ford Escape Hybrids with a December 2004 build.
Nothing ever went wrong. Ever. Except an electric water pump. Quick and easy and cheap to change myself.
14 years and 235,000 miles was still going strong with original everything except oil, tires, brake shoes at 200k and that one $80 pump.
There were no software updates. Ever.
The good old days!
This was a first of a first of a first HYBRID! Rock solid. Bulletproof.
The first Maverick's had several issues, and several Hybrid specific issues up to the mid second year now. I usually don't buy the first year of anything.
Dont jinx it. I have a July built one and so far so good and I hope it stays that way.
Only item I am worried about for now is the CV axles. I can't tell if there was a bad batch early on, or if my time is coming.
