Ford Motor Company "Ford" is recalling certain 2024 Maverick vehicles. The fuel tanks may have an open pinch joint between the two molds, which can allow fuel to leak.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a vehicle fire.
Owners are advised to park and shut off the engine immediately if a fuel leak is detected or the Malfunction Indicator Lamp illuminates. Dealers will replace the fuel tanks, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters explaining the safety risk were mailed March 15, 2024. A second notice will be sent once remedy parts become available, anticipated 2nd quarter of 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24S17.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 'TTY 1-800-424-9153', or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
