Ford has announced a recall of more than 450,000 compact SUVs and pickup trucks in the United States due to a potential loss of drive power stemming from a battery issue, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The affected models include Ford Bronco Sport SUVs manufactured between 2021 and 2024, as well as Ford Maverick pickups produced between 2022 and 2023, totaling 456,565 units.
The NHTSA warns that an undetected low battery charge could lead to a loss of electrical accessories such as hazard lights or even cause a loss of drive power, posing an increased risk of a crash.
In response to the issue, Ford has emphasized its commitment to customer safety, stating, “Safety is a top priority, and we are taking proactive measures to address this issue promptly and effectively.”
Owners of the affected vehicles are urged to visit a Ford dealership for a complimentary recalibration of the body control module and powertrain control modules. Alternatively, customers can take advantage of Ford’s mobile service and pick-up and delivery options for a convenient fix.
Notification letters will be sent out by May 13, and owners can reach out to Ford directly at 1-866-436-7332, referencing recall number 24S24.
