ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Maverick Hybrid vehicles. The 12V positive battery cable terminal may become loose or detach, which can cause a loss of electrical systems (including power steering assist, power brake assist, and exterior lighting) or a loss of drive power.
- What it can cause
- A loss of drive power, power brake assist, power steering assist, or exterior lighting can increase the risk of a crash.

- Dealers will replace the 12V battery cable, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 23, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S81. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on November 9, 2026.

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.

How this campaign compares
At 8,650 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 78% of the 19,945 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers one model year, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 104 times before this, most recently in October 2026 as 26V653000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 468 complaints with NHTSA, 466 of them before this campaign was filed. 158 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2022, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V881000 (power train).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on November 2, 2026 as campaign 26V724000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
