Ford recalls 2022 Maverick trucks again for unresolved brake light issue

A voluntary recall has been issued for certain 2022 Ford Maverick trucks. These vehicles were previously repaired under recall reference 22V-730. The recall addresses a software issue within the Antilock Brake System (ABS) module that may cause brake lights to turn on unexpectedly, even when the brakes are not applied.

This condition was identified following reports that the earlier service action did not fully resolve the risk. The affected vehicles were sold across the United States through authorized Ford dealerships, and the exact number of units involved is currently unavailable. Ford is working with dealerships to reprogram the ABS module and notify owners, at no cost to those affected.
