FWIW I just got my second recall notice on my 23 Toyota Corolla Cross for driver side airbag. Not sure if this second recall directly effects my vehicle but this recall is to fix the fix they did on the first recall

This seems like an over reaction. Most of the recalls are software only. Yes, Ford's software quality is too low. On the other hand, companies like Tesla quietly do many over the air updates of software without any big to do. Ford, unfortunately, is not doing over the air updates on many models so YES having to have a mobile tech come out with a laptop is pretty old fashioned and expensive for Ford. Many on this forum still drive to their dealer for these recalls, and that is even more inconvenient. If Ford were doing over the air updates, most probably there would be a lot less complaints because the updates could be done quietly and at the convenience of the vehicle owner. There are a handful of hardware recalls mostly from components provided by 3rd parties which is an issue for ALL manufacturers. Nearly all the Japanese & Korean auto makers (and others) have been battling Takata airbag recalls since 2014 which impacts over 100 million vehicles. Hyundai (and Kia) and Toyota have been battling swarf (machining debris) in their engines for the last 5 years or more. Ford is not unique in having recalls.

1980 TI99/4A I k on the board. I wrote my own programs in BASIC and saved them to a cassette tape recorder. Bought it at a hardware store.

apple ][, 1978. had 48k. cassette tape (until i could buy a 5.25" floppy drive). those were the days..
All the software updates are nothing but a minor irritant to me-
I appreciate being able to get from point A to point B, and expect for that to happen for 150k and beyond WITHOUT having to fight for warranty repairs...
Ford needs to recall the weak @ss CV axles!!!
It's just going to become a more well known, widespread "Ford quality" issue, as the driveway queens start actually getting some mileage...

Ford is not alone in this. At least the Ford recalls have been mostly minor issues where the Maverick is concerned. Hyundai has had far more serious recalls. My coworker got one for what was supposedly a faulty transmission sensor of some sort on his 2024 Santa Fe. It got replaced...then the tranny died due to a combination of malfunctions between the new sensor AND the original transmission. LOL. Took him over two MONTHS to get a new tranny from Hyundai.
And may I add, no fuel gauge. Just had to keep track of your miles.Yeah... I'm old enough to remember how exciting it was if a car hit 100k miles. Basically, the end of life. I remember my father had a 1969 station wagon and by the time we put 40k mi on it it was already a big rust bucket. So by comparison to those days today's vehicles are much better built. And I'm sure there are a lot of people here that remember the days of no air conditioning, no power windows, no FM radio, the old cigarette lighter and ashtray, bench seats front. And many other things I don't remember.

My wife reminded too since it didn't become law until like 1973 or 1974 that some cars didn't even have seat belts. Or they did they were just those little lap belts that would snap your spine when you got into a wreck.

How about the dimmer switch being on the floor that you hit with your left foot! I had an old ford, 59 or 60 I can't remember, that had a pedal on the floor for the windshield washer fluid. When you started pumping it activated the wipers for a few swipes. I punked my little sister by telling her the car had automatic wipers that could detect rain - she never saw the foot action
In my opinion, the most serious issue regarding the Ford Maverick that Ford had to deal with is issue with the truck completed losing power while in motion. It started happening around February and March of 2024.
Many members of MaverickTruckClub posted their incidents with a lot of them nearly being involved in serious accidents. Ford got on it. Developed a fix, and sent out the information about the fix.
It appears to have significantly resolved the issue. There may still be a few outliers that still need the fix but the most important thing to note is that Ford got right on it.

Is that a hybrid thing ?
