Battery Recall

[pigsareus]

Probably a worthwhile trip - hopefully they do more than just a basic voltage test...and they don't try and pro-rate any replacement. Ford recalls some Bronco Sport, Maverick vehicles over battery issue

So the dealers lied.

The stack of recalls on my 22 ( base XL with verry few cosmetic options - Born late June 2022) is reaching epic levels - I believe this is number 6 - could be 7 (all software updates - 1 airbag recall which i won't do until I scratch my dash or wreck my headliner myself first )

No problems with anyone of them at the moment - but it is starting to feel like Russian roulette every time I drive it.

Looks like me waiting for the rear camera recall fix to schedule these I may even get a few more ...

Love my Truck - Questioning the electrical/software engineering more and more each day


Cheers

They continue to blame it all on the pandemic.

Well late build 22 Ecoboost. Mines on the list. Only the second recall for me. Don't understand why they say there is no remedy.

Does this recall include 23 Tremor?

Does this recall include 23 Tremor?

No. '23MY didn't start production until mid-November 2022 and this only affects up to October 2022.

Evidently there is a battery recall for some 22-23 mavericks . Check NHTSA with vin or state license plate # to see if your Mav is on recall notice . My maverick is on recall status .

Thanks, I saved this link. Sure enough, my Maverick is on that list for two recalls. It's been a pretty solid vehicle for me so far. The recalls are free and done in my driveway by mobile service. I suppose I'd feel different if my Maverick bricks on the road.

I always hated stop-stort, which I felt was an annoying Rube Goldberg solution that unnecessarily stressed the whole engine powertrain for 0.5 mpg. Yea, I know I can turn it off every time I get in the car. But it's a dumb solution, and everyone involved in that solution knows it's paper-whipping the EPA rules.

Strange, it doesn’t include 2024 models. I get battery preservation mode message on daily basis.

My 23 XLT ECO AWD isn't on the recall.

Lariat delivered mid July 2023 not on either recall list. Checked by VIN.
