Ford has landed in hot waters again! Over 272,000 vehicles in the U.S. are being urgently recalled due to a serious battery failure risk that could lead to hazard light failure, loss of drive power, and even accidents.
What’s the Real Issue?
The 12-volt battery in specific 2021-2023 Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Maverick models may degrade without warning. If it fails, the vehicle could:
-
Suddenly lose electrical features (including hazard lights)
-
Stall while driving
-
Fail to start
-
Increase the risk of crash, especially at night or in bad weather
This is not a minor issue—it’s a potential safety hazard on wheels.
🔧 What Is Ford Doing?
Ford dealers are now instructed to inspect and replace the battery if needed—at no cost to the owner. But here’s the catch: many owners still don’t know their vehicle is at risk!
