The vehicles' failure to detect a 'sudden degradation' in the battery could lead to to a sudden loss of power, Ford warns.
Ford Motor is recalling 456,565 Bronco Sport SUVs and Maverick pickup trucks because the vehicles may fail to detect a low battery charge, which could lead to a loss of engine and electrical power while driving. The recall covers certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Maverick vehicles, according to a notice posted Wednesday on the National Highway Safety Traffic Safety Administration's website.
Failure in the vehicles' body and power train control modules to detect a 'sudden degradation' in the cars' 12-volt battery charge could lead to 'a vehicle that is unable to restart after an auto start/stop event' or cause motorists to stall while coming to a stop at a low speed, Ford said in documents filed with the U.S. safety regulator. As a remedy, dealers will recalibrate the control modules free of charge.
