One truck has your back if the engine fails. The Ford Maverick Hybrid comes with one free engine replacement. So, that should put your mind at ease. However, what if the engine in the 2020 – 2023 Maverick Hybrid models fails a second time?

Remember in July, 20203, when the Ford Maverick Hybrid faces a recall due to an engine fire risk? Well, there might still be smoke to deal with. 

The recall was related to the possibility of engine oil and fuel vapor being released into the engine compartment near ignition sources including hot engine or exhaust components. This increased the risk of fire.  

At the time, this recall didn’t have a remedy. But now the Ford Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) is taking action. 

2022 – 2023 Maverick trucks with the 2.5-liter hybrid engine are eligible for one free engine replacement due to a connecting rod bearing problem that may require engine long block replacement. 

Your Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may illuminate and store Diagnositce Trouble Codes (DTCs) if a faulty connecting rod bearing is detected by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

If your Maverick Hybrid is outside of the normal powertrain warranty, this CSP policy provides a one-time engine long block assembly replacement free of charge for 10 years or 100,000 miles. 

2021 – 2022 Lincoln Corsair and 2020 – 2023 Ford Escape models are also included in this CSP. If the vehicle has already exceeded the time or mileage limits, the no-cost repair will be available through July 31, 2025. Coverage is transferred between different owners.

If you would like more information the CSP number is 23NO6 and you can call Ford Customer Service at 1-866-326-4236. 

You can also call the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 and 1-800-242-9153. 

In the meantime, park and turn off your engine as soon as possible if you hear unexpected engine noises, experience a reduction in power, or see smoke.
