What's wrong?
The body control module and powertrain control module on the 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport and Maverick are the computers that watch electrical demand and help manage engine and powertrain operation. Part of their job is to understand the 12-volt battery's state of charge, then keep the vehicle supplied with enough electrical power during a drive.
On affected vehicles, the module software does not detect a sudden drop in 12-volt battery charge during the drive cycle. If the alternator cannot keep up with electrical load, or if Auto Stop-Start shuts the engine off at the wrong time, the vehicle can lose motive power and then lose 12-volt accessories. Ford's repair updates the module calibrations so the system detects low charge, limits Auto Stop-Start, alerts the driver when the battery is degraded, and raises alternator output to help keep the vehicle operating.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue can appear during a normal drive without a dashboard warning first.
Who's affected?
The scope splits between Bronco Sport SUVs and Maverick pickup trucks, tied to the same powertrain control module calibration.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician recalibrates the body control module and power train control module so the vehicle can detect changes in the battery state of charge. The software update is free under the recall, with parts and labor covered by Ford. Ford has a general reimbursement plan for owners who paid for the remedy before the safety recall notice. For reimbursement, contact Ford customer service with documentation for qualifying repairs paid before the notice. The source lists July 1, 2024, as the estimated end date for reimbursement eligibility.

Recall 24V267 covers 456,565 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Ford Maverick vehicles. The body and power train control modules can miss a low 12-volt battery charge, which can cause loss of hazard lights or drive power. Ford dealers will recalibrate both modules for free.
What should I do if my 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport or 2022-2023 Ford Maverick is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 24V267. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the body control module and power train control module recalibration. Reference Ford recall number 24S24 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and Ford will recalibrate the body control module and power train control module free of charge at any franchised Ford dealer.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is loss of electrical accessories or drive power from an undetected low 12-volt battery charge. That can include hazard lights, and loss of drive power increases crash risk. If your VIN is included, arrange the free Ford dealer repair.
What if I bought my Ford Bronco Sport or Maverick used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recalls follow the VIN, not the first owner. Ford mailed owner letters on June 4, 2024, but used-vehicle records are not always current. Check your VIN, then call a Ford dealer if your vehicle is included.
