What this recall means for you
The second-row tether anchors may not properly secure a child seat because the threads are not fully engaged. This means a child seat could be less secure than intended, which increases the risk of injury to a child in a crash. The vehicles also do not meet the federal child restraint anchorage requirements.
If you own a 2024 Ford Maverick, check your VIN for open recalls. Dealers will repair the tether anchorage points free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2024, and you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 with questions.
