I was hoping my Maverick that I took delivery of at the end of July would be unaffected, but the recall just showed up for it on the NHTSA site. Looks like mine made it out of the factory before the stop ship was enacted and delivered before the field action was approved.

Bit late on this, but mine was replaced due to my dealer damaging mine when installing the front license plate bracket. The part took a little over a week to arrive. Replacing it requires removing the entire front bumper cover. After that, the lower cover is held on by 4 screws and quite a few...

How bad are the scratches? If fairly unnoticeable, it might be best to just fill them in with some touch up paint. That is probably what I would do unless they were very noticeable.

Any idea how I can adjust it? Here is a picture of the bracket inside the wheel well. The bumper cover is held on by 3 bolts, not by clips like many cars, and there are 3 alignment pins that align the bumper cover bracket and the fender. I could take the whole assembly off and try to reinstall...

I took delivery of my Maverick a few weeks ago. The dealership had to remove the front bumper cover to replace the lower black fascia that they damaged by drilling holes for the license plate bracket in the wrong location. I noticed that the gap between the bumper cover and fender on the...
