Ford has announced two separate recalls in the United States affecting its popular pickup models, the Maverick and the F-150. While these recalls are unrelated, they highlight ongoing quality control challenges for the automaker.

## Maverick Recall: Rear-View Camera Issues

The first recall involves the Ford Maverick, with a total of **144,516 vehicles** affected. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the rear-view camera display may freeze when the vehicle is in reverse. This malfunction poses an increased risk of accidents, attributed to inadequate memory management within the Connected Touch Radios software, which disrupts the rear-view camera image processing.

### Key Details:
– **Models Affected**: 2022-2024 Ford Maverick
– **Manufacturing Dates**: February 3, 2021, to November 28, 2023
– **Customer Complaints**: Ford received reports of the issue starting in mid-June, including 4 warranty claims and 22 complaints in North America. Fortunately, no accidents or injuries have been reported.

Ford plans to resolve this issue by updating the software at dealerships. Owners can expect notifications regarding the recall starting **September 30**.

## F-150 Recall: Flickering Parking Lamps

The second recall affects **16,543 Ford F-150s** manufactured between March 11, 2022, and July 23, 2022. The issue involves the parking lamps flickering when the headlight switch is set to ‘Position Lamp On,’ ‘Headlamp On,’ or ‘Automatic.’ This flickering does not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, which require a steady light.

### Key Details:
– **Models Affected**: 2022 Ford F-150
– **Customer Reports**: Ford has received **368 reports** related to this issue but has not been informed of any accidents or injuries.
– **Resolution**: Dealers will replace the LED Driver Module, with notifications to owners beginning **October 7**.

## Conclusion

Both recalls underscore Ford’s commitment to addressing quality issues in its vehicles. If you own a 2022-2024 Ford Maverick or a 2022 Ford F-150, be sure to keep an eye out for notifications from Ford regarding these recalls. Ensuring your vehicle is safe and compliant is crucial for your safety on the road.
