What's wrong?
The Tire & Loading Information label on the 2024 Ford Maverick is the sticker that lists the vehicle capacity, cold tire pressure values, and spare tire size. It is supposed to match the truck as built, so the owner, tire shop, or dealer has the correct reference when loading the vehicle or setting tire pressure.
On affected Maverick XLT trucks with the FX4 package and 4k trailer tow package, the label was not replaced after rework changed the spare tire setup. Ford says a codification error led certain trucks to be built with a mini spare tire, then reworked for a full size spare tire without the matching label change. That left some trucks with printed information that does not match the final vehicle.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the label itself, so an owner looking at the sticker will not see a symptom on the road or hear a noise from the truck.

What's the safety risk?
Incorrect tire and capacity information can lead an owner to overload the Maverick, which increases the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before an overload creates unsafe handling or braking conditions. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
