Ford recalls Maverick pickups in US due to faulty taillights

DEARBORN, Michigan: Ford is recalling nearly 243,000 Maverick small pickup trucks in the U.S. due to faulty taillights that may not illuminate.

Ford said that a computer can falsely detect too much current on one or both tail lamps, causing them to stay dark while the trucks are on the road, increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall covers certain pickups from model years 2022 to 2024.
