Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. For this Ford Maverick recall, in the event that one of the rear turn signals stops working, the vehicle will not adjust the turn signal flash rate frequency to warn the driver that a turn signal is not working correctly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”
A nonfunctioning exterior turn signal will not notify other drivers that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the body control module software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed January 2, 2024. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford’s number for this recall is 23C41.
If you own a 2022-2024 Ford Maverick, be sure to consult the NHTSA recalls portion of the website and type in the specific VIN of your truck to see if this current recall applies to your vehicle.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

that is the problem with LED turn signals. When they go out, there is not a load (resistance) change in the circuit to make the flash rate faster. In the old days the faster flash rate was an electrical result, today, it takes software to get the dash indicator to flash faster. (progress?)

No big deal. Just a software update. Had mine done yesterday along with the first oil change. Software update took all of five minutes.
