What's wrong?
The tires on the 2023 Ford Maverick and Bronco Sport are the only parts touching the road. They carry the vehicle's weight, grip the pavement, and help the driver brake, steer, and hold a lane. The tire has to be built with the right materials so its tread and casing stay stable under load.
Ford traced this recall to tires that were built incorrectly by the supplier. A mislabeled bobbin fed the wrong cap material into production, so the finished tire was not made to specification. That defect affects how the tire performs, which can reduce vehicle handling and control.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a noise, vibration, dashboard light, or visible tire change to identify this defect.
Who's affected?
Covers the Maverick and Bronco Sport with the same 225/60R18 100H Primacy A/S tire.
