The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched probes into multiple model lines of General Motors Co. (NYSE:GM), as well as a probe into Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:F) vehicles after reports of brake failures and other issues emerged.
Ford’s Maverick Units Affected
According to NHTSA filings on Monday, the agency will probe an estimated 82,040 units of the 2024 Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup truck as the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) received reports of “intermittent loss of antilock and regenerative braking associated with certain fault codes that led to a collision event,” the filing said.
The filing also states that the petitioner had conducted repairs on multiple occasions and that the MY 2024 was “improperly
excluded from related Ford brake-control software recalls.” Ford has grappled with recall woes for some time now, with last year’s recall tally reaching 137 by November 2025.
