Engine block heater recall (2022-2024 Maverick)

[Mavster Mechanic]

Yeah, probably anyone with a 2022-2024 Maverick equipped with an engine block heater....

What I mean is, even then they may limit it to certain build dates. Time will tell.

Dang ...that's a lot of work to replace it on the hybrid !
Living in California I don't have one on my Mav .
When I was kid , living in the Midwest , I used the heater that replaced the dipstick .
Easy Peasy ....

Probably the build dates between 2022-2024....

So, if you are not even using the block heater then this is a non-issue? Just leave it alone and not worry about it? Or should it still be fixed?

IMHO there's about 99 quirks with this vehicle that have higher priority than this one.

But yes. No power to the plug = no problem.

No leaking coolant = also no problem.

The "fix" should be; inspect for leaks.
If none, remain calm and carry on.

This must be an extension of the recall on the block heater on the '25's. I checked with my dealer a couple weeks ago and they dont have a fix for it yet. I was hoping to get it fixed before the impending Minnesota winter.

1) look for leaks before using it

2) use it

Is there a separate TSB or recall for the '25s? I just checked my Ford app and don't see anything pending, though I have a '25 Lariat Hybrid with the block heater. I also haven't gotten anything in the mail yet, and I've had the truck for ~6 months now.

IIRC it was only a small number made in a 10-15 day period back in February. If you don’t have any pending recalls in the app, or Ford recall by VIN page, don’t worry about it.

Just be cheaper for a dealership to replace the engine

Does this affect both Hybrids and Ecoboosts or is it one or the other?

no block heater on hybrid

no block heater on hybrid

Not true. I have a block heater on my 23 Hybrid. Its almost mandatory equipment in Canada.

not mandatory, i live in Squamish, I have no use for one, even in the -30 in ontario I nver used one on my chevy

When i bought my 2025, the dealer didn't want to install my block heater cord, saying that there's a recall on it, but now I'm curious if it's safe or not since not included, and also a different engine than the 24s, i still have the cord

My 2025 had a Canadian recall for which I had an appointment on July 7th. They removed the faulty component; gave me the connection assembly & told me that they would call once the replacement unit is available. To date, nothing. Disappointment with Ford especially with winter arriving in the Great White North.
