My Dealership just completed the “trailer module reprogramming“ recall 26C10 this morning. The entire process from the time I arrived until I left was less than 45 minutes. I haven’t seen any issues while driving home - I plan to connect my bike rack tail-lights today and put it in “neutral tow” to see if this corrects my issue, the service manager really didn’t know for sure but then again this was his 3rd day on the job🤷🏼‍♂️

It appears that the four prong plug is not hot when the ignition is turned off when the Maverick is engaged in “neutral tow” and the ignition and accessories modes are turned off which is required to flat tow the Maverick

the Maverick’s taillights, brake lights and turn signals all work fine when in neutral tow when the Maverick is plugged into the RV but not the Maverick’s four prong plug that I wanted to use for my auxiliary taillights on my bike rack
