Ford Maverick
In Canada: generations, trims, common issues, recalls and fuel costs
This guide covers the Ford Maverick across 1 generation from model year 2022. Transport Canada lists 45 recalls for it since the 2022 model year, the latest issued in May 2026 (list read ). Every Maverick is built at Ford's Hermosillo plant in Mexico; none are built in Canada.
Overview
The Maverick is Ford's smallest pickup: a four-door, unibody truck built on the same platform as the Escape and Bronco Sport, with a 4.5-foot bed. It arrived for 2022 with a standard hybrid drivetrain and a turbocharged 2.0 L option, and Ford reported that most early buyers were new to the brand. For Calgary drivers the key buying detail is traction: until 2024 all-wheel drive came only with the 2.0 L EcoBoost, while the 2025 refresh made AWD available on the hybrid too. Documented items to check on a used one include recalls for hybrid engine failures on early trucks, a 12 V battery that could fail, and two separate block heater recalls, which matter to anyone who plugs in overnight.

Common issues
Problems a source documents for this model, tagged by what kind of source it is. What each tag means:
- Recall
- A safety recall. Transport Canada’s list further down has the recall itself, and a dealer can tell you from your VIN whether it applies to your vehicle.
-
Hybrid engine failure with a fire risk
On some trucks with the 2.5 L hybrid, an engine failure could let oil or fuel vapour build up under the hood and catch fire. Ford changed the under-engine shield (22S47) and later updated software or replaced engines (23S27); shut the engine off promptly if it makes unusual noises or smokes.[4][5][13]
-
12 V battery could fail and stall the engine
The control modules might not notice a weak 12 V battery, and some batteries were defective, which could cause a stall, a failed restart after auto stop-start or dead hazard lights. Dealers updated software (24S24) and then inspected or replaced the battery (25S02). Transport Canada lists only 2022 Mavericks; the U.S. recalls also include some 2023 trucks.[6][7][12]
-
Block heater recalls
On 2022–2024 trucks the factory block heater could crack, leak coolant and short-circuit when plugged in (25SA4); on 2025 trucks it could overheat (25S52). In both cases Ford says not to plug it in until the dealer has replaced or removed it.[8][9][12][15]
-
Tail lamps could switch off while driving
A body control module software fault could turn the tail lamps off; the recall (24S27) updates the software.[11]
-
Hybrid park pawl might not engage
On hybrid trucks, a fault in the integrated park module could leave the park pawl disengaged when the selector is in P, so the truck could roll if the parking brake is off. A wrench light and a shift fault message show when it happens; a software update fixes it (25C69).[10]

Issue, risk and remedy
Issue. On certain vehicles, the recall repairs completed by a Ford dealer during recall 24S24 (Transport Canada recall no. 2024-224) may not have been done correctly. As a result, a second repair is required. On certain vehicles, the powertrain control module (PCM) and body control module (BCM) may not detect a change in the charge level of the 12 V battery. As a result, the engine could stall. This could also cause the engine not to restart after a start-stop event and the hazard lights may not work.
Safety risk. A sudden loss of power to the wheels or a vehicle that doesn't restart after a start-stop event could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, hazard lamps that don't work could make the vehicle less visible and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective action. Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the PCM and BCM software.

Fuel economy and cost
Natural Resources Canada’s combined ratings (55% city, 45% highway driving) for the newest model years it has rated. NRCan rates every drivetrain, transmission and package separately, so each row gives the range across them. The yearly cost assumes 20,000 km a year, the distance NRCan’s own fuel consumption search tool assumes, at Statistics Canada’s average self-serve price in Calgary for August 2026: regular 162.3¢/L, premium 188.4¢/L, diesel 210.6¢/L. Each rating is costed at the fuel NRCan rated it on. How far and how you drive will move it.

Canada notes
- Every Maverick is built at Ford's Hermosillo plant in Mexico; none are built in Canada.[1]
- Canadian 2026 Mavericks list an optional engine block heater, but it is not offered with the 2.0 L EcoBoost.[3]
- All-wheel drive was limited to the 2.0 L EcoBoost from 2022 to 2024; from 2025 the hybrid can have AWD too, and the Canadian Lariat comes with hybrid AWD as standard for 2026.[1][3]
