Wow.
So far it seems the 25MY is NOT mainly software upgrades.
And this was the year of pulling samples off the line for extra quality checks.

I think that explains the last few updates we have gotten saying the engine block heater was constrained. It's starting to fall in place now.

I did not have "Another Ford Maverick Recall" on my bingo card for this week.
Just Kidding! I most definitely did! I'm just patiently waiting for an emissions recall sometime soon so Ford can pay to have my Check Engine Light turned off for me. The only Emissions recall I've seen so far was replacing the sticker but now 3 years in I figure we must be due.

Is this for both engines? I wonder if this is the same part number as the 22-24 model years?

This impacts vehicles built as far back as 2022, and is a parts failure not a build quality issue.

Will be interesting to see what the repair. I researched adding one but I guess you have to take the engine out to get to it. Would be nice to have but I don't need it that bad.

The whole truck is made of parts.
So the extra time for reviewing some vehicles was just for build quality.
I guess that makes sense as no parts would be expected to show a problem in the brief weeks of extra time taken. Well, except the battery!

Yes it was for build quality. There’s no way for them to test the engine block heater for every vehicle coming off the assembly lines when the part has been in circulation since 2022.The whole truck is made of parts.

Wow. Just wow.
Holy cow.
I don't have an EBH but... another reason to not deliver. Wow.

Of course not every one of them.
But frankly - these were being delivered in the winter - they are testing systems I assume as part of build quality.
In the extra weeks some of them were being held for such tests - this should have been on the list to test.
The truck is full of parts used since the start, they should still be testing many of them, since this wasn't a process before this MY.
BOY would that have been a gig! = "Go pull one off the line, plug in the block heater and watch it all night"!

Outside supply chains appear to be a train wreck. I can't imagine being an OEM and trying to keep tabs on these parts coming in from vendors and trying to do some sort of quality check. I am sure there are process teams involved, but that has to be a huge headache. It is costing these companies a lot of money in the process.

1. The trucks are built in Mexico.
2. I bet less than 10% (if not far less) of Mavericks produced have an engine block heater.
So you want a separate test for these special Mavericks where they are going to plug in the EBH and use a temperature gauge or gun to make sure it is operating within spec? That is not the quality checks that were being performed during the hold and I would adjust expectations as to what they actually covered.

So much for John Farley's quality control hold on the 25's.
