A Ford Bronco is displayed at a Gus Machado Ford dealership on Jan. 23, 2023, in Hialeah, Fla. Ford is recalling more than 456,000 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles, on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, due to a battery detection issue …
According to an alert from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford’s recall affects Bronco sport utility vehicles made between 2021-24 and Maverick pickup trucks that came out in 2022-23. Ford discovered an issue where an undetected low-battery charge could limit the use of electrical features like hazard lights and turn signals. The malfunction could also lead to a car’s driving power loss and cause a collision.
The company has urged affected customers to take the cars to their nearest Ford dealership for a free fix. Ford also issued a recall for its smaller SUVs last week over a fuel injector issue that could increase the risk of an engine fire.
