The Maverick Hybrid, Escape Hybrid, and plug-in hybrid Lincoln Corsair Grand Touring have seen varied production numbers, ranging from 81 to 8,369 units, between November 6, 2019, and April 4, 2024. Recently, Ford addressed a software issue affecting 5 percent of the recall population, prompting a safety recall.
Following investigations by Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group, dealers were instructed to update the hybrid powertrain control module’s calibration software for potentially affected vehicles. This action was initiated after reports of 315 warranty claims and 125 vehicle owner questionnaires related to the issue.
Affected owners will be notified via mail between May 23 and May 24, 2024, with instructions to visit dealerships for the software update. In the meantime, owners can verify their vehicle’s recall status through the automaker’s website or during routine maintenance visits.
Looking ahead, the Ford Maverick is set to receive a facelift for the 2025 model year, maintaining its status as a popular small truck. With its hybrid option delivering impressive fuel efficiency and range, it remains a compelling choice in the compact utility vehicle segment.
