NHTSA Is Reviewing Whether Ford’s Fix for 273,701 Mavericks’ Rearview Cameras Actually Works

NHTSA is reviewing the scope and remedy effectiveness of Ford’s recall of 273,701 Maverick pickups from model years 2022-2024, according to the agency’s November 5 recall listings. The original campaign, 24V-684, covers rearview cameras that can fail, raising the risk of a crash when reversing.

A recall query like this does not mean the fix is broken — it means the regulator wants evidence that it works and that it reached every affected vehicle. NHTSA opens these reviews when field data, complaints or warranty claims suggest a remedy may be incomplete, and the outcome can range from a clean bill of health to an expanded recall or a revised repair.

The Maverick is Ford’s affordable compact pickup and one of its best-selling nameplates, so a camera problem at this scale matters to a lot of owners. The hybrid version in particular has been a hit with buyers chasing affordable efficiency, with hybrid sales up sharply this year.

Maverick owners should check their VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether their truck is covered and whether the remedy has been completed. If the camera has ever gone dark or frozen while reversing, that is worth reporting to NHTSA as well as to the dealer — owner complaints are part of what triggers reviews like this one.
