Recall 24V140 affects 62,813 2022-2023 Ford Maverick vehicles for instrument panel software that can hide warning lights. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 62,813 2022-2023 Maverick Hybrid vehicles because the instrument panel cluster can fail to illuminate warning lights, gauges, or other critical safety information. Without clear speedometer or warning-light displays, drivers lose important cues while driving, which raises crash risk; Ford dealers will complete the repair free once it is available.

What's wrong?
The instrument panel cluster in the 2022-2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid is the driver display behind the steering wheel. It lights the gauges and warning indicators that tell you speed, gear position, system alerts, and other basic vehicle status. Those lights are supposed to come on when the vehicle is switched on.
On affected Mavericks, the cluster software can mishandle rapid signals on the vehicle's data network as the vehicle wakes from sleep. That data-network activity can corrupt internal memory used by the cluster. When that happens, the display hardware does not initialize correctly, so warning lights or gauges do not illuminate as intended.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem shows up when the vehicle is turned on and the cluster display or warning indicators fail to light normally.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same instrument-panel software identified in the recall scope.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without an illuminated instrument panel, the driver loses critical safety information such as vehicle speed and warning lights, which increases crash risk. There is no warning sign before the display problem, so schedule the recall repair and use extra caution if the panel is dark. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2023 Ford Maverick Hybrid is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask whether the instrument panel cluster software update that restores warning lights and gauges is ready for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 24V140 and Ford recall 24C01 when you call.
- Bring Ford's owner letter, mailed March 26, 2024, if you have it.
- Drive cautiously until the software update is complete. Confirm that the speedometer, warning lights, and gauges illuminate before each trip.
