Ford has recalled over 455,000 Bronco Sport and Mavericks after an issue where the battery indicator can fail to give a warning. The problem has been found in Ford Bronco Sport SUVs made between 2021 and 2024 and Ford Maverick pickup trucks made between 2022 and 2023. The undetected low battery could cause a failure of multiple battery-affiliated features like hazard lights, and it could even lead to a loss of drive power that could result in a crash, according to the United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Ford has stated that if customers seem to be having some sort of battery problems in one of the models listed above, they should take it to the nearest dealer to get the issue fixed for free, while owners will be notified on May 13.
In just the past few months, there have been a slew of recalls issued by multiple dealers over various issues. Almost 43,000 2022-2023 Ford Broncos and 2022 Ford Escapes were recalled last week due to possible cracked fuel injectors, and Subaru also recalled over 118,000 2020-2022 Outback and Legacy models in late March over a problem where the airbag would fail to deploy in a crash. The same week, Chrysler recalled 286,000 2018-2021 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 models for an issue where the side airbag would randomly rupture, possibly harming the passengers of the car. In addition, Kia recalled over 427,000 of their popular 2020-2024 Telluride SUVs because of a problem where the car could start moving while in park due to an improper assembly of the right front driveshaft and intermediate shaft. Lastly, Hyundai and Kia jointly recalled over 147,000 2022-2024 Hyundai Ioniq, Genesis, and EV6 models over issues with the battery charging. For all of these issues, owners of these models should take the car to the nearest dealer to get the problem repaired for free.
