  1. 2 months in and have a blown door speaker (B&O)

    For the front doors, any 6.5" speaker will do. If you are going to add an aftermarket subwoofer I would remove the original. The aftermarket will almost certainly sound better and the stock one is just going to muddy the harmonics.
  2. Recall: 2022 Maverick Side Curtain Airbag Recall NHTSA Notice (August 8, 2022). Vehicles Affected: 64,974

    I can see it now. "Side curtain air bags are a constraint item, consider removing from your build if you want your truck before 2024."
  3. 🗓 2023 Maverick ordering now starts SEPTEMBER 15 (not August 2)

    Next update will be: 2023 order banks may be pushed to Sept. 2023 as a 2024 model
  4. 2022 Ford Maverick Interior Review | Doing a Lot With a Little (Autoblog)

    303 is a good product for preventing stains/easy cleaning and UV protection. It's not going to do anything against physical damage like scratches and scuffs
  5. OEM Bed Extender and Pivot Bed Storage Box compatible with each other?

    I doubt you could use them both at the same time, but does anyone know if you can at least install the brackets for both and use one at a time? Links for both items I am referring to: Pivot Box: Maverick 2022 Undercover Left Hand Side Pivot Storage Box ~ VNZ6Z17N004A (ford.com) Extender...
  6. Did your Maverick catch on fire or Suffer Engine Failure?

    Not to sound passive aggressive, but if someone on this forums engine failed or caught fire, they would have posted it. And it surely would have gone viral here.
  7. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    Actually, there are plenty examples, in automotive and other industries, of customers voicing complaints/opinions on how products are produced etc. and manufacturers have responded. So I will voice what I feel is right. It's your prerogative to do as you choose.
  8. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    Investigation revealed that between February 22 and February 23, 2021, ChEP1 produced 25 crankshafts with potentially out of specification surface finish on crankshaft connecting rod journal #4 due to an emery lapping tape breakage that resulted in incomplete polishing. The 25 suspect...
  9. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    Whether other unexpected things can go wrong is irrelevant. It's a known issue, that Ford has acknowledged.
  10. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    My understanding and what is stated in the video, is that the fluid leaking/ evaporation is due to the potential of a faulty crank
  11. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    They know X number of Mavericks were affected, hence the recall. The root cause is a faulty crankshaft, and that is not addressed in the "fix." The rarity is irrelevant. If Ford says these vehicles are, or could be affected, they need to evaluate for the the issue, and rectify it if need be. Not...
  12. Opting out of recall?

    You talk about swapping an engine out like it's akin to an oil change or something. So yes, you sound naive. Just b/c you drive a lot means nothing. I wouldn't stress over it either, but if the engine failed and it needed replaced, I certainly wouldn't nonchalantly say "No problem, they can just...
  13. Opting out of recall?

    You are naïve to think swapping an engine out is no big deal. Especially as part of a warranty repair, performed by a flat rate mechanic. You would be very lucky not to have any other mechanical issues from replacing an engine. It is not a simple process, especially with a hybrid.
  14. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    Yes future builds are corrected, one reason I'm thankful mine has not been build yet. The issue still stands for vehicles build between those specified dates.
  15. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    Statistical likelihood is low now sure, but potentially affected vehicles are still so new. Still sounds like a cop out to me. Again, how are you to know your vehicle is affected before your engine seizes on you? And there has been incidents, he states 23 reported cases of engine fires. Low...
  16. Hybrid Engine Fire Recall? Is this an actual fix, or a Band-Aid?

    Long McArthur's most recent livestream (link below) discusses the engine fire recall. If the root cause is an incorrectly machined crankshaft which causes oil/fuel leaking which then can potentially cause a fire, why is the recall not to replace the crankshaft? Drilling holes and removing the...
  17. Order not correct on Ford tracking site

    Thanks that's good to hear. I should have mentioned the window sticker isn't available yet.
  18. Order not correct on Ford tracking site

    Ordered an XLT Hybrid w/ Lux pack and 360 on 7/22/21. Called yesterday to check for updates and was relieved to hear I have a VIN and build date of 8/29. I went on the Ford tracking site to check, and my order is there but the packages, accessories etc. are not correct. I don't see the Lux pack...
