Frozen Rear-view Camera Image
In September 2024, Ford Motor Company filed a safety recall (NHTSA recall 24V684) covering certain MY 2022-2024 Ford Maverick vehicles equipped with a Connected Touch Radio (CTR). For these vehicles, the rear-view camera may freeze while the vehicle is in reverse.A frozen image can provide false information for the driver, increasing the risk of a crash. As a remedy, dealers will update the CTR software in affected vehicles. The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 5 Vehicle Owner Questionnaires (VOQs) alleging frozen rear-view camera images following the remedy of recall 24V684 in a subset population of Maverick and Maverick Hybrid vehicles equipped with the CTR. The complaints report a frozen rear-view camera image while in reverse. Further, ODI is aware of a redacted number of related failures reported to ODI by Ford. The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) is opening this Recall Query (RQ) to evaluate the remedy effectiveness and scope of recall 24V684 to fully assess the potential safety-related problems. To review the ODI reports cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.

I was in a parking garage, preparing to back out of my spot. When I put the car into reverse, I noticed that the Ford infotainment system started a reboot, as the Ford logo popped up and had the loading icon. I waited about 20 seconds, but nothing changed with this reboot. I subsequently backed out of the spot using just my head and eyes turned to make sure there was no oncoming traffic. The backup camera did not turn on at all. About five minutes later, when I was driving my car, the backup camera finally turned on (while the car was in Drive or D mode), and was stuck showing me a static image of the parking garage. This was five minutes after I had already left the parking garage. The screen was stuck on this for the next 10 minutes while I drove home. I have attached two photos of this as well. The first in the picture of me at a traffic light, roughly 5 minutes after I shifted my car into reverse. As you can see, I can clearly not in a dimly lit parking garage, but rather at a brightly lit traffic light. The camera would stay stuck at this exact same image for the next 10 minutes, until I arrived home. The second image was the car’s infotainment system trying to reboot itself. It shows the Ford logo, which was currently rebooting (or trying to reboot on its own) the cars’ operating system. This was the image I was seeing until the first image (mentioned above) finally showed up. I work for a K-12 school as their IT Specialist and frequently back into and out of spots all the time. This isn't the first time this has happened and given the nature of my job, I am concerned about a loss of visibility when trying to backup (and the camera is not working). The only good thing is the camera works about 95% of the time. However it is the other 5% that it does not work, that concerns me.

•Incident/Repair 1 (6 Months from Delivery): At approximately six months of ownership, the vehicle suffered an internal high-voltage electrical failure. The vehicle was towed to an authorized Ford dealership, where technicians diagnosed a catastrophic failure of the High-Voltage Traction Battery system. The dealership attempted a repair by completely replacing the high-voltage hybrid battery assembly. This repair occurred well within New York State's statutory Lemon Law window of 2 years or 18,000 miles. •Incident 2 (2 Years 4 Months from Delivery / Current Status): Approximately two years 4 months from the original delivery date, the replacement high-voltage battery system suffered a secondary, catastrophic failure. While actively driving at highway speeds in live traffic, the engine completely shut off without warning. The vehicle suffered a total and sudden loss of motive power, forcing me to coast through traffic to a complete stop on the side of the road. •Automatic Shifter Hazard: Upon reaching a complete stop during this second incident, the vehicle's computer system automatically forced the electronic transmission into "Park" while still on the roadway. The vehicle's electronic center console maintained 12V power, allowing me to manually override the system into a temporary "Neutral Tow" setting so the truck could be physically pushed out of the flow of traffic to avoid a collision. The vehicle was subsequently towed back to an authorized Ford dealership, where it currently sits

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN
For 20222026 vehicles equipped with a 8F35 transmission, a revision to the Road Testing Vehicle procedure has been made in the WSM, Section 307-01 > Diagnosis and Testing. This updated procedure improves the diagnosis of customer reported transmission concerns and aids in locating the proper root cause. During diagnosis and testing, details regarding whether the condition is more prevalent when the vehicle is hot or cold, throttle percentage at the time of occurrence, vehicle speed, the specific shift involved, and whether the issue occurs during transmission engagements (N>R, N>D, R>D, and/or D>R) should be noted in the warranty claim. Engineering requests including these detailed operating conditions that will significantly assist with root cause analysis. Diagnosis, testing, and repair should use established labor times outside this article.
STRUCTURE:BODY
This article supersedes TSB 25-2466 to add Bronco Sport, Escape, Maverick and Corsair, as well as removing Expedition and Navigator. One time use parts for Corsair and Bronco Sport were also added to the parts list. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a headliner rattle or sagging condition around the roof opening panel. This may be due to the adhesive separating from the headliner substrate.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN
This article supersedes 26-2058 Reason for update: update the TSB title and TSB issue to include new DTCs Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit all of the following conditions: * Intermittent or permanent no reverse (R) engagement * Illuminated MIL with DTC P0767 or P0765:7E stored in the powertrain control module (PCM) In addition to the required conditions, the vehicle may also exhibit a harsh reverse engagement, P0766, P0765:7F, P0736 and/or P2703 stored in the PCM. This may be due to an internal mechanical concern with the selectable one-way clutch (SOWC).
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE
Some 2022-2024 Maverick Hybrid vehicles may exhibit an intermittent vibration and/or crunching noise after a cold start while the engine is running with the vehicle stationary in drive with no throttle input and brakes applied. An intermittent engine rocking or rolling motion in one direction may also be observed while the concern is present with the hood open.<br /><br /> The noise may be present with no drivability concerns, relevant diagnostic trouble codes (DTC) stored, warning indicators illuminated and/or warning messages displayed. The noise may reduce or be eliminated after several minutes of driving when the powertrain warms up.<br /><br /> This condition does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected in Q4 of 2026. Replacement of the engine or transmission will not resolve this condition. Monitor Professional Technician System (PTS) for additional information and schedule s
