It shows up when the manufacturer commits to it showing up, which varies by recall. Ford uploaded all the impacted VINs by May 29, the same day dealers were notified. If your VIN isnt on the NHTSA or Ford websites, your truck isn't included in the recall, no need to keep an eye on it.

The paperwork filed with the NHTSA says owners will be notified by June 5 at the latest. If you've owned your vehicle for more than 3 months, you probably aren't impacted due to the nature of this defect. It makes its presence known early.

I hope the engineer that decided that measuring the torque on a bolt holding a part that might be incorrectly installed was a good test is the one getting questioned, not Bob.

Ford knows exaclty which vehicles they want to look at for this problem and all the VINs were uploaded ot the NHTSA database by May 29. If your VIN didn't get flagged, whatever problems you are experiencing aren't related to this defect. The only vehicles included in the recall are those...

unlike other manufacturers, Ford answers that question in their reporting to the NHTSA. It's a facinating read. The short answer is good record keeping and risk decisions being made by engineers, rather than executives. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2023/RCLRPT-23V734-5615.PDF

Take a few minutes and read the recall report filed with the NHTSA, you'll see this IS Ford getting its act together, setting an example other manufacturers should follow. This problem was found by the chassis team while looking at a single warrenty claim from the previous model year, the...

This looks like a very nice cover, likely one of the nicest available if just because of the remote features. I've owned retractable covers in the past, and I'll never own one again, especially for the Maverick. They just take up too much bed space for the way I use my truck. For my needs, a...

I'll never buy another gas engine again, hybrid at least from here out. Gas might go down by a nickle or dime here an there, but I'm loving the MPG that continues to allow me to go where I want where I want without worriying too much about fuel costs. My hybrid Maverick has served me very...

Jeeps got ducks, Maverick's have... more self respect than that

I actively avoid sunroofs. Every one I’ve owned has leaked and we’ve opened them maybe once a year.

Based on a year’s experience with my 25 hybrid and a lot of research into reliability, particularly of the eCVT transmission, I will never buy another gas only vehicle again. My son is buying a compact crossover and is only considering eCVT hybrids. When my wife’s RAV4 needs replaced in a few...

I leave lane keeping on all the time. It’s helpful especially on the highway. But I opted for CoPilot360 for blind spot monitoring. Which I also always use

Because you are in Mexico and were planning on buying a 2026 Maverick but decided to buy a few years earlier? I’m trying to understand how this affects you

A good DIY fix? No. You'll find all sorts of ideas about things you can stuff here and there, but good fixes involve disassembling more than you are going to want to do. Every new car has this problem and every dealer is provided a variety of rubber bits and bobs that can be put in the right...

I asked the Safelite guy when he was replacing my windshield after 18k miles if he saw a lot of Mavericks. The answer was yes, but no more than most other trucks. F150s are even more frequent customers but Jeep Wranglers are the vehicle he sees most often. It's not the material, it's the...

It is possible to add with aftermarket blind spot monitoring but is going to be in the neighborhood of $750 for the hardware alone. Another option is replacing the rear view mirror with something like one of the Wolfbox dashcams. It includes a 4k camera that offers a 170º field of view. I...

This. The Maverick is no different than any other vehicle. It looks better and lasts longer if you keep it clean. 99% of that is wiping it down with a rag. it takes seconds and makes a huge difference.

22-24 Mavericks use Sync 3 which has underpowered software and hardware compared to Sync 4 on the 25+ Mavericks. There is no simple fix to Sync 3 bluetooth problems. The various B, A, Down, B, Up, Down, Down, Y, A cheat codes you'll find here and on YouTube are resets which can help...
