NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD –
Compliance Recall 22C24
Certain 2022 Model Year Maverick Vehicles Equipped with an Integrated Trailer
Relay Module (TRM), Without Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Brake Lamps Stay On – Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Software Update
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Vehicle | Model Year | Assembly Plant | Build Dates |
| Maverick | 2022 | Hermosillo | February 11, 2021 through September 5, 2022 |
| Maverick | 2022 | Hermosillo | October 5, 2022 through October 6, 2022 |
Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists.
REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL
All of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 – Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment. It may be possible that while driving, the brake lamps illuminate without the brakes being applied if the TRM trailer brake gain is set to 0.5 or above. This condition may occur with or without a trailer connected to the vehicle. Unintentional brake lamp illumination may impair the effectiveness of the brake lamps and increase the risk of a crash.
If a trailer equipped with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes is connected to the vehicle, the trailer brakes may apply without the vehicle’s brakes being applied, causing the trailer load to feel heavier than normal.
SERVICE ACTION
Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to update the ABS software. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner.
OWNER NOTIFICATION AND MAILING SCHEDULE
Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of November 7, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.
PLEASE NOTE:
Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
SOLD VEHICLES
- Ford has not issued instructions to stop selling/delivering or driving used vehicles under this compliance recall. Owners should contact their dealer for an appointment to have their vehicles remedied as soon as practicable. Owners can continue to safely drive their vehicles if the brake controller gain is set below 0.5.
- Immediately contact any of your affected customers whose vehicles are not on your VIN list but are identified in OASIS. Give the customer a copy of the Owner Notification Letter (when available) and schedule a service date.
- Correct other affected vehicles identified in OASIS which are brought to your dealership.
- Dealers are to prioritize repairs of customer vehicles over repairs of new and used vehicle inventory.
STOCK VEHICLES
- Correct all affected units in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.
- Use OASIS to identify any affected vehicles in your used vehicle inventory.
DEALER-OPERATED RENTAL VEHICLES
The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act law effective June 2016 prohibits a rental company from selling, renting or leasing vehicles subject to a safety or compliance recall. Please consult your legal counsel for legal advice.
TITLE BRANDED / SALVAGED VEHICLES

CERTAIN 2022 MODEL YEAR MAVERICK VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN INTEGRATED TRAILER RELAY MODULE (TRM), WITHOUT ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (ACC) – BRAKE LAMPS STAY ON – ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) SOFTWARE UPDATE
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Module Programming
NOTE: Program appropriate vehicle modules before performing diagnostics and clear all DTC’s after programming. For DTC’s generated after programming, follow normal diagnostic service procedures.
1. Connect a battery charger to the 12V battery.
NOTE: Verify that the negative cable of the charger is installed on a chassis or engine ground, and not the 12 volt battery negative terminal to prevent the battery saver mode from activating on the vehicle.
NOTE: If the diagnostic software does not load or if the vehicle cannot be identified properly, make sure there is a good internet connection and the VCM is properly connected to the DLC.
2. Log into Ford Diagnostic and Repair System (FDRS).
NOTE: Vehicle information is automatically retrieved by the diagnostic software and a Network Test is run. Vehicle identification data appears on the screen when this is complete.
3. Click ‘Read VIN from Vehicle‘ or manually enter the VIN.
NOTE: Available modules are shown on the Left Hand (LH) side of the screen, and available procedures are listed on the Right Hand (RH) side of the screen. Modules that are communicating are highlighted in green.
4. Select Toolbox tab.
5. From the list on the LH side of the screen, select the ABS -Anti-lock braking system.
6. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select:
ABS -Anti-lock braking system (ABS) Module Software Update.
7. Click Download, then click RUN. Follow all on-screen instructions carefully.
8. From the list on the RH side of the screen, select Self-Test and click RUN.
9. Click the Run Selected Tests button in the lower right.
10. Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear DTC’s in all modules.
11. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the programming has completed.
Important Information for Module Programming
NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors.
- Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source.
NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software.
- Inspect VCM II
/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. - A hardwired connection is strongly recommended.
- Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors.
- Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio, etc.).
- Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully.
- Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes.
- Create all sessions Key On Engine Off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process.
Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module
a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the DLC and from the diagnostic scan tool.
b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and diagnostic scan tool. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection.
c. If you are using the same FDRS as the initial programming attempt, select the appropriate VIN from the Vehicle Identification menu. If you are using a different FDRS, select “Read VIN from Vehicle” and proceed through the Network Test.
d. In the Toolbox menu, navigate to the failed module and Download/Run Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Follow the on-screen prompts. When asked if the original module is installed, select “No” and continue through the installation application.
e. Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. Unless a part is requested to be returned to Ford, all parts replaced under this FSA must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Refer to the Parts Retention, Return, & Scrapping section of the FSA dealer bulletin for further information.
Chronology :
On August 26th 2022 , an issue pertaining to the rear brake lamps was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group for review.
On August, 2022 the Plant Vehicle Team was made aware of an issue with the rear brake lamps on Maverick.
Under certain circumstances the brake lamps are illuminated when the driver is not applying the brakes.
An investigation revealed that the ABS module supplied by Continental transmitted an incorrect value to the ITRM due to a misinterpretation of a specification provided by Ford.
As of September 22nd 2022, there have been 23 known warranty claims alleging vehicle stop lamps illuminating without brake application. As of September 22th, 2022 there are no related VOQs, accidents, or injuries reported.
On September 23rd 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action.

Nuestro compromiso, junto con el de su distribuidor, es ofrecerle servicio y apoyo de alto nivel. ¿Cuál es el problema? Si la ganancia del controlador del freno de su vehículo se establece en 0.5 o más, las luces de freno podrían encenderse mientras conduce sin haber presionado el pedal del freno. Esta condición podría ocurrir con sin un remolque anclado al vehículo. ¿Qué riesgo existe? Esto podría ocasionar el encendido no intencionado de las luces de freno, lo cual aumenta el riesgo de choque. Si un remolque equipado con frenos eléctricos o electrohidráulicos se ancla al vehículo, los frenos del remolque también se podrían aplicar de forma no intencionada, lo cual hace que la carga del remolque se perciba más pesada que lo normal. ¿Qué medidas adoptarán Ford y su distribuidor? Ford Motor Company ha autorizado a su distribuidor a actualizar el software del sistema de frenos antibloqueo (ABS) sin costo alguno (mano de obra). ¿Cuánto tiempo tomará? El tiempo necesario para reparar será menos de medio día. Sin embargo, debido a los requisitos de planificación de servicio, es posible que su distribuidor tarde un poco más. ¿Qué debe hacer? Llame de inmediato al distribuidor y solicite una cita de servicio para realizar la Campaña 22C24. Proporcione el VIN a su distribuidor, el cual está impreso debajo de sus datos al comienzo de esta carta. Para esta campaña de conformidad, Ford no ha emitido instrucciones de dejar de manejar el vehículo. Deberá ponerse en contacto con su distribuidor a fin de programar una cita para solucionar este problema lo más pronto posible. Puede continuar utilizando su vehículo de forma segura, si reduce la ganancia del controlador del freno del remolque por debajo de 0.5. Si aún no tiene un distribuidor para realizar el servicio, puede acceder a ford.com/support para conocer las direcciones de los distribuidores, ver mapas y obtener las instrucciones para llegar. Ford Motor Company le recomienda realizar esta campaña de cumplimiento en su vehículo. El propietario del vehículo es responsable de realizar los arreglos para llevar a cabo el trabajo. Ford Motor Company puede negar la cobertura en caso de que el vehículo hubiese sufrido daños por no haber realizado la campaña de manera oportuna. Por lo tanto, le solicitamos que realice esta campaña lo antes posible. Tenga presente que: La ley federal exige que los arrendadores de vehículos que reciban este aviso de campaña envíen una copia del mismo al arrendatario en un plazo de diez días. 3 of 4 A/3/000001/1 07327 22C24 NI/DTB122C241 Noviembre de 2022 Ford Motor Company División de Servicio al Cliente de Ford P.

Box 1904 Service Engineering Operations Dearborn, Michigan 48121 Ford Customer Service Division November 1, 2022 TO: All U.S. Ford and Lincoln Dealers SUBJECT: NEW VEHICLE DEMONSTRATION / DELIVERY HOLD – Compliance Recall 22C24 Certain 2022 Model Year Maverick Vehicles Equipped with an Integrated Trailer Relay Module (TRM), Without Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Brake Lamps Stay On – Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Software Update AFFECTED VEHICLES Vehicle Model Year Assembly Plant Build Dates Maverick 2022 Hermosillo February 11, 2021 through September 5, 2022 Maverick 2022 Hermosillo October 5, 2022 through October 6, 2022 Affected vehicles are identified in OASIS and FSA VIN Lists. REASON FOR THIS COMPLIANCE RECALL All of the affected vehicles may not conform to the requirements specified by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 108 – Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment. It may be possible that while driving, the brake lamps illuminate without the brakes being applied if the TRM trailer brake gain is set to 0.5 or above. This condition may occur with or without a trailer connected to the vehicle. Unintentional brake lamp illumination may impair the effectiveness of the brake lamps and increase the risk of a crash. If a trailer equipped with electric or electric-over-hydraulic brakes is connected to the vehicle, the trailer brakes may apply without the vehicle’s brakes being applied, causing the trailer load to feel heavier than normal. SERVICE ACTION Before demonstrating or delivering any new in-stock vehicles involved in this recall, dealers are to update the ABS software. This service must be performed on all affected vehicles at no charge to the vehicle owner. OWNER NOTIFICATION MAILING SCHEDULE Owner letters are expected to be mailed the week of November 7, 2022. Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter. PLEASE NOTE: Federal law requires dealers to complete this recall service before a new vehicle is delivered to the buyer or lessee. Violation of this requirement by a dealer could result in a civil penalty of up to $21,000 per vehicle. Correct all vehicles in your new vehicle inventory before delivery.

Click the Clear & Retest button at the top of the screen to clear DTC’s in all modules. 11. Disconnect the battery charger from the 12V battery once the programming has completed. Important Information for Module Programming NOTE: When programming a module, use the following basic checks to ensure programming completes without errors. • Make sure the 12V battery is fully charged before carrying out the programming steps and connect FDRS/scan tool to a power source. NOTE: A good internet connection is necessary to identify the vehicle and to load the diagnostic software. • Inspect VCM II/Vehicle Communication and Measurement Module (VCMM) and cables for any damage. Make sure scan tool connections are not interrupted during programming. • A hardwired connection is strongly recommended. • Turn off all unnecessary accessories (radio, heated/cooled seats, headlamps, interior lamps, HVAC system, etc.) and close doors. • Disconnect/depower any aftermarket accessories (remote start, alarm, power inverter, CB radio,etc.). • Follow all scan tool on-screen instructions carefully. • Disable FDRS/scan tool sleep mode, screensaver, hibernation modes. • Create all sessions Key On Engine Off (KOEO). Starting the vehicle before creating a session will cause errors within the programming inhale process. Recovering a module when programming has resulted in a blank module a. Disconnect the VCMII or VCMM from the DLC and from the diagnostic scan tool. b. After ten seconds, reconnect the VCMII/VCMM to the DLC and diagnostic scan tool. Launch FDRS. The VCMII/VCMM icon should turn green in the bottom right corner of the screen. If it does not, troubleshoot the FDRS to VCM connection. c.

Once programming has completed, a screen may list additional steps required to complete the programming process. Make sure all applicable steps are followed in order. IMPORTANT NOTE: Federal law prohibits selling motor vehicle parts or components that are under safety, compliance, or emissions recall. Unless a part is requested to be returned to Ford, all parts replaced under this FSA must be scrapped in accordance with all applicable local, state and federal environmental protection and hazardous material regulations. Refer to the Parts Retention, Return, & Scrapping section of the FSA dealer bulletin for further information. Version 04-23-19 Ford Motor Company Recall Reimbursement Plan for 22C24 Ford and Lincoln dealers are in the best position to quickly and efficiently process reimbursement requests. However, federal legislation requires all motor vehicle manufacturers to establish processes through which customers may seek recall reimbursement directly from the manufacturer or from the dealers. Regarding the specific reimbursement plan for Recall # 22C24, owners who have paid for service to remedy the defect or noncompliance must have had that service performed prior to November 25, 2022. After this date, if repairs related to this recall are performed by a non-Ford repair facility in an emergency situation, customers must submit any refund requests through their dealership. As required by this federal regulation, Ford Motor Company submitted the details of its latest General Recall Reimbursement Plan in a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in May 2021. The following is the text of that letter and the Plan: General Recall Reimbursement Plan (As submitted to the NHTSA) Pursuant to the requirements set forth in 49 CFR Part 573 and Part 577 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Ford Motor Company (Ford) is submitting required information pertaining to our general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners before they are notified of a related safety recall. Set forth below is Ford’s general plan to reimburse owners and purchasers for costs incurred for remedies in advance of notification of potential safety-related defects or noncompliances pursuant to Part 573.6 (c)(8)(i). This plan has not changed since our February 20, 2019 submission. Reimbursement Notification Ford’s notice to a vehicle owner in accordance with 49 CFR Part 577 will indicate that Ford is offering a refund if the owner paid to have service to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to a specified ending date. In accordance with Part 573.13 (c)(2), this ending date will be defined as a minimum of ten calendar days after the date on which Ford mailed the last of its Part 577 notifications to owners, and will be indicated in the specific reimbursement plan available to owners for an individual recall. This notice will direct owners to seek eligible reimbursement through authorized dealers or, at their option, directly through Ford at the following address: Ford Motor Company P.O. Box 6251 Dearborn, MI 48121-6251 Ford notes that this rule allows for the identification of a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility. Under the rule, an owner who paid to remedy the defect or noncompliance prior to the identified beginning date would not be eligible for reimbursement. Ford generally has not established such a beginning date for reimbursement eligibility and does not presently anticipate changing this general policy. However, in any case where Ford determines a beginning date is appropriate, Ford will indicate that date in the owner notice. As permitted by 577.11(e), Ford may not include a reimbursement notification when all vehicles are well within the warranty period, subject to approval by the agency. Version 04-23-19 Costs to be Reimbursed For vehicles, reimbursement will not be less than the lesser of: • The amount paid by the owner for the remedy that specifically addressed and was reasonably necessary to correct the defect or noncompliance that is the subject of the recall, or • The cost of parts for the remedy (to be no more than the manufacturer’s list retail price for authorized part(s), plus associated labor at local labor rates, miscellaneous fees (such as disposal of waste) and taxes. For replacement equipment, reimbursement will be the amount paid by the owner for the replacement item (limited by the amount of the retail list price of the defective or noncompliant item that was replaced, plus taxes, where the brand or model purchased by the owner was different than the brand or model that was the subject of the recall). If the item of motor vehicle equipment was repaired, the reimbursement provisions identified above for vehicles will apply. Ford notes that costs incurred by the owner within the period during which Ford’s original or extended warranty would have provided for a free repair of the problem will not be eligible for reimbursement, as provided by Part 573.13 (d)(1). Entities Authorized to Provide Reimbursement Ford will continue to use authorized dealers to reimburse owners under the specific reimbursement plans for a particular recall, and will encourage owners to pursue requests for reimbursement directly through dealers to expedite reimbursement. Ford will also provide a mailing address to which customers can, at their option, send requests for reimbursement directly to Ford, as previously noted. Requests for reimbursement sent directly to Ford may take up to 60 days to process. Whether the owner chooses to pursue reimbursement requests through a dealer or directly through Ford, the owner will be directed to submit the required documentation, upon which reimbursement eligibility will be determined. Required Documentation The reimbursement determination will depend upon the information provided by the customer. Consistent with Part 573.13 (d)(4) the following information must be submitted: • Claimant name and address • Vehicle make, model, and model year • Vehicle identification number (VIN) and, for replacement equipment, a description of such equipment or, for tires, the model, size and TIN (DOT code) • Identification of the recall number (either the Ford recall number or the NHTSA recall number) • Identification of the owner of the recalled vehicle at the time that the pre-notification remedy was obtained • An original receipt for the pre-notification remedy that includes a breakdown of the amount for parts, labor, other costs and taxes, including costs for the replacement item. Where the receipt covers work other than to address the recall or noncompliance, Ford may require the claimant to separately identify costs that are eligible for reimbursement. • If the remedy was obtained during the warranty period, documentation indicating that the warranty was not honored or the warranty repair did not correct the problem related to the recall. Failure to submit all of the above information may result in denial of the reimbursement request. Version 04-23-19 Additional Information The Part 577 required owner notice will provide a toll-free telephone number through which specific information about the reimbursement plan can be requested from Ford. This general reimbursement plan will be incorporated into notifications pursuant to Part 573.6 by reference. Information specific to an individual recall also may be incorporated into the Part 573.6 notification.

OMB Control No.: 2127-0004 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-730 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Submission Date : OCT 11, 2022 NHTSA Recall No. : 22V-730 Manufacturer Recall No. : 22C24 Manufacturer Information : Manufacturer Name : Ford Motor Company Address : 330 Town Center Drive Suite 500 Dearborn MI 48126-2738 Company phone : 1-866-436-7332 Population : Number of potentially involved : 11,098 Estimated percentage with defect : 100 % Vehicle Information : Vehicle 1 : 2022-2022 Ford Maverick Vehicle Type : LIGHT VEHICLES Body Style : ALL Power Train : NR Descriptive Information : Ford’s team reviewed supplier process and maintenance records to determine the population of affected parts. The Ford process is capable of tracing the Antilock Braking System Module production to the vehicle in which the Antilock Braking System Module is installed. Affected vehicles are equipped with suspect Antilock Braking System Modules. These vehicles are not produced in VIN order. Information as to the applicability of this action to specific vehicles can best be obtained by either calling Ford’s toll-free line (1-866-436-7332) or by contacting a local Ford or Lincoln dealer who can obtain specific information regarding the vehicles from the Ford On-line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) database. 11,098 Ford Maverick vehicles are affected. Production Dates : FEB 11, 2021 – SEP 05, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Noncompliance : Description of the Noncompliance : Under certain circumstances the brake lamps are illuminated when the driver is not applying the brakes. This condition represents a noncompliance for FMVSS 108 (Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment), as unintended illumination may impair the effectiveness of the stop lamps. FMVSS 1 : 108 – Lamps, reflective devices, and assoc. Equipment Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-730 Page 2 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : Unintended illumination of the stop lamps may impair their effectiveness and increase the risk of crash. Description of the Cause : Due to a lack of definition in the Active Cruise Control (ACC) and the Antilock Braking System (ABS) interface specification, the ABS sends an incorrect signal to the Integrated Trailer Relay Module (ITRM). The ITRM then assumes by reading this incorrect signal that the brakes are still active, leading to the brake lamps illuminating when the brakes are not active. Identification of Any Warning that can Occur : No warning exists. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : ABS Module Component Description : ABS Module Software Component Part Number : Final assembly: NZ6C-2B373-C – Software Strategy: NZ6C-2D053-C Supplier Identification : Component Manufacturer Name : Continental Automotive Address : 1103 Jamestown Road Morganton North Carolina 28655 Country : United States Chronology : On August 26th 2022 , an issue pertaining to the rear brake lamps was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group for review. On August, 2022 the Plant Vehicle Team was made aware of an issue with the rear brake lamps on Maverick. Under certain circumstances the brake lamps are illuminated when the driver is not applying the brakes. An investigation revealed that the ABS module supplied by Continental transmitted an incorrect value to the ITRM due to a misinterpretation of a specification provided by Ford. As of September 22nd 2022, there have been 23 known warranty claims alleging vehicle stop lamps illuminating without brake application. As of September 22th, 2022 there are no related VOQs, accidents, or Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-730 Page 3 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 injuries reported. On September 23rd 2022, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a Ford or Lincoln dealer to have an update of the software in the ABS module. There will be no charge for this service. Ford provided the general reimbursement plan for the cost of remedies paid for by vehicle owners prior to notification of a safety recall in May 2021.
