2024 Ford Maverick: Child Seat recall
NHTSA campaign 24V778000 · 6 units potentially affected · filed Oct 18, 2024
What's wrong
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2024 Maverick vehicles. The second-row child seat tether anchors may not properly secure a child seat, due to incomplete thread engagement. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
Why it matters
A child seat that is not secured properly increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Dealers will repair the tether anchorage points, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 24C33.
