UPDATE 4/8/22 : Unable to replicate. Bring back if problem persists. Case number. That's it so far. Hopefully they will figure out eventually.

Thanks! Precisely why I have not taken mine to a dealer. BUT, I do have a case number! lol

I have a XLT with 3,000 miles on it and it has done the shutter twice now in the past week. At first, I thought it was something on the road I ran over. The second time, it was the hand-off from electric to ICE. The engine was cold and the outside temp was in the 40's. Once the ICE warms up, I haven't noticed the shutter. I've scheduled a dealer visit next week. It doesn't do it all the time but the shutter has me worried. I will post updates after the dealer visit.

Update: I took the truck into the dealer and they couldn't find any problem. No engine light came on so I assume no error codes were found. The following day, it happened again. It seems it mostly occurs around 40 degrees outside temp. from a cold start. Once the truck warms up, I've never experienced the shutter from electric to ICE.

it's quick responses like this that matter.... Thank you FoMoCo

Too bad this account doesn't get involved in all the cases of dealers trying to screw over the customer concerning their Maverick order.

Ford pays Field Service Engineers to resolve odd cases.

This ford account is probably a summer intern.

If it matters, I have the same issue with my ICE on an XLT Hybrid.
It's happened maybe 4 times total in 3k miles?
I'll mention it to the dealer when I drop in for my next oil change, but expect the usual- can't replicate it, can't find it, can't fix it- which is understandable.

I don't mind, it happens sometimes, as long as there is no internal damage occurring. And doesn't get worse over time, leading to happening everyday after the warranty is over or something failing. Since other Ford hybrids are not doing this, I suspect it has to do with the eCVT, maybe the motor not putting out enough power, maybe the battery is below some level, not the engine.
