What is wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Maverick vehicles.

The risk
Unintended illumination of the brake lights may confuse other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will update the software in the ABS module, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 9, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-[removed]. Ford's number for this recall is 22C24.
