Ford recalls 2022 Maverick vehicles with potentially damaged fuel tanks that could leak gasoline, increasing fire risk. Owners must have fuel tanks inspected and replaced free by dealers.
A damaged fuel tank may result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.
Ford is recalling certain 2022 Maverick vehicles because the fuel tank may have been damaged during installation of a bed-liner, creating a risk of fuel leaks and fire. This affects vehicles that were sold between specific dates and requires dealers to inspect and replace the tank at no cost.
The fuel tank may have been damaged by drill holes when the spray-in bed-liner was installed. This creates a potential leak path for gasoline, which could ignite if exposed to heat or sparks, leading to a fire.
Owners of 2022 Ford Maverick vehicles with a spray-in bed-liner installed during manufacturing are affected. Drivers using these vehicles without a fuel tank inspection may face fire risks if fuel leaks occur.
Check if your 2022 Maverick has a spray-in bed-liner installed. The recall covers vehicles that were sold starting from January 2022, with notification letters mailed on January 28 and March 15, 2022.
Call 1-866-436-7332 to confirm your vehicle is affected and schedule a fuel tank inspection.
Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel tank at no cost if damage is found.
