Ford Motor Company has initiated a recall for 272,817 vehicles in the United States due to battery-related concerns. The recall affects specific 2021 to 2023 Bronco Sport and 2022 to 2023 Maverick models. The company identified a potential problem with the 12-volt batteries, where internal weld and cast-on strap failures could occur.
These battery failures present a risk as they may prevent the vehicle from starting or lead to other functional impairments. Ford is advising owners of the affected models to contact dealerships for inspection and necessary battery replacements.
The company is working closely with dealerships to ensure swift execution of the recall process. Affected vehicle owners can expect communication from Ford with further instructions on how to proceed.
