Federal auto-safety regulators are reviewing allegations that certain 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid pickups can intermittently lose anti-lock and regenerative braking, including one owner’s claim that the problem contributed to a collision. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Office of Defects Investigation opened Defect Petition DP26007 on August 24, 2026.
The petition concerns an estimated 82,040 model-year 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid vehicles, although NHTSA has not determined that those vehicles have a safety defect. At this stage, regulators are evaluating whether to grant or deny a request to open a defect investigation.
