Ford is recalling 2 2022 Maverick vehicles under recall 25V127 because an earlier recall repair was done incorrectly, leaving the body and power train control modules unable to detect a change in the 12-volt battery state of charge. An undetected low charge can shut off electrical accessories such as hazard lights or cause loss of drive power, and Ford dealers will complete the repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The body control module and powertrain control module in the 2022 Ford Maverick are vehicle computers. They coordinate electrical and powertrain functions, including reading changes in the 12-volt battery state of charge so the truck has the correct battery condition.
Ford says certain Mavericks that were already repaired under recall 24V-590 did not receive the correct software. The dealer service tool was supposed to download and install the latest Ford software, but for these trucks it uploaded the wrong package. As a result, the modules do not contain the remedy Powertrain Control Module software needed for that earlier recall.
An owner should not count on a dashboard message or drivability symptom to identify this defect. There is no warning sign before failure.
Who's affected?
The electrical-system and automatic-transmission categories both point to the same powertrain control module calibration.

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?
A low battery charge that goes undetected can shut off electrical accessories, including hazard lights, or lead to loss of drive power. Either problem can make the vehicle harder for other drivers to see or leave it without power in traffic, increasing crash risk. Schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2022 Ford Maverick is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to schedule the free power train control module software update that fixes the battery state-of-charge detection problem.
- Tell the dealer this is recall number 25V127 and Ford recall 25S13 when you call.
- Bring the recall notice if Ford mailed one, plus any paperwork from the earlier 24V-590 repair.
- Avoid unnecessary trips until the software update is complete because a low battery charge can shut off accessories or drive power.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Ford technician updates the power train control module software for the 2022 Maverick covered by recall 25V127. The update addresses the module logic tied to 12-volt battery state-of-charge detection after the earlier recall repair. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. If you've already paid for this software-related repair, Ford's recall reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses. Keep your repair invoice and contact Ford customer service about the claim.
