Is this an orange man bad thread? I'm waiting to see what happens in Jan 2025 before I start spreading misinformation or disinformation. But I really won't need to worry because media will do it for us.
We get it, cameras are mandatory!! But there is millions of LEGAL cars on the road with NO back-up camera. I've never had one.
But to throw brake lights in there like "oh god you don't believe in back-up cameras, oh so you also don't think brake light should be mandatory"
The current recall is for vehicles built thru Nov 2024. So it pretty much covers every maverick XL and XLT. ~260k mavericks.
From what I read, Ford will be notifying owner the first week of Dec.
NHTSA slapped a 165 million fine on Ford, Nov 14, for their slow response to this issue.

Well apparently they really aren't if they sold one to him or let him test drive.
I went to the my dealership in early Nov and test drove and put a deposit on one they had ordered. 2 weeks later, the day that I was going to go do the paperwork and pick up, the salesman call and said they could...
I’m in the exact same boat as you, have deposit down, Fri I was going in to pay and pick up. Salesman called said they can’t release because of recall. He would try to get info asap. But said the Explorer had a similar issue and was a 3 month wait.
but this is a bad time as 25’s will be...
So the 2025's may be out before this get resolved? If so there will be a lot of 24's sitting in lots i would think. If it's not fixed by January I'll probably ask for my deposit back or maybe order a 2025 (don't really care for the headlights though).
Get some mouse repellent spray in addition to the other traps.
The house I grew up in, my mom still live there, has an very old block foundation. We had mice in the basement all the time growing up. About 5 years ago, I found this and now she sprays around the foundation / doors late summer...
What kind of discount or price does the X-plan have for the Maverick?
I bought a 2000 Ford Taurus with the X-plan (the company I worked for had it) but can't remember what it was.
I was supposed to buy a 2024 XLT today, that I put a deposit on, but my salesman just called and said they cannot release any mavericks because of the rear camera issue.
Sucks. He said unknown when it would be fixed.
