Recall 25V095 covers 2,711 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles with BCM software that can deactivate rear tail lights. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 2,711 2022-2024 Maverick trucks that were incorrectly repaired under an earlier recall because the body control module can deactivate one or both rear tail lights. Without working rear tail lights, the vehicle is harder for other drivers to see, increasing crash risk, and Ford dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The body control module, or BCM, on the 2022-2024 Ford Maverick is the electronic controller that manages body functions rather than engine power. For this recall, the important job is rear exterior lighting. The BCM software tells the rear tail lights when to stay on so other drivers can see the truck from behind.
These Mavericks were previously repaired under recall 24V-293, but Ford found that the service tool did not install the correct BCM software on every included VIN. A truck can be marked as repaired while still carrying software that does not contain the intended remedy. With that incorrect software in place, the BCM can inadvertently turn off one or both rear tail lights.
There is no warning sign before failure. The driver has no built-in cue that the rear tail lights have gone out, so the VIN and repair record decide whether this recall applies.
Who's affected?
Spans three Maverick model years with the same body control module software tied to exterior lighting behavior.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup is included.
What's the safety risk?
Rear tail lights that fail to illuminate make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before the lights fail, so confirm whether your VIN is included and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022-2024 Ford Maverick is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free body control module software update that fixes the rear-tail-light deactivation.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 25V095 when you call.
- Use extra caution until the repair is complete, especially in low light, because failed rear tail lights reduce visibility to other drivers.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician updates the body control module software so the rear tail lights stay active as intended. The software update and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid out of pocket for the same body control module software correction before the recall notice, ask Ford customer service or the dealer how to submit documentation under Ford's general reimbursement plan.

Recall 25V095 covers 2,711 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles previously repaired incorrectly under recall 24V-293. The body control module can deactivate one or both rear tail lights, reducing visibility to other drivers. Ford dealers will update the body control module software for free.
What should I do if my 2022-2024 Ford Maverick is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Maverick is included in recall 25V095. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the body control module software update. Reference Ford recall number 25S07 when you call. The repair is free.

Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair safety defects at no cost, and Ford will update the body control module software free of charge at any franchised Ford dealer. Parts and labor are covered for this recall repair.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced visibility from the rear of the vehicle. If one or both rear tail lights stop illuminating, other drivers have less notice of your Maverick's position or braking context, increasing crash risk. The dealer software update corrects the body control module issue.
