Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Ford Maverick shows a notable shift in its federal record compared to prior model years, with complaints dropping sharply to 67 from 262 in 2023 and 144 in 2022, while recalls also declined to 15 from 21 in 2023 and 28 in 2022. This suggests Ford may have addressed early-generation issues, though the data doesn’t specify root causes for the most common complaint areas—*Unknown or Other*, *Power Train*, and *Back Over Prevention*—which together account for over a third of 2024’s complaints. The absence of fire-related complaints and only six crash-related reports in 2024 further indicates improved reliability, though the model’s long-term trajectory remains unclear given the limited 2026 data. The trend implies 2024 falls in a maturing phase of the generation, with fewer systemic issues than its predecessors but still some unresolved concerns. For buyers, this makes the 2024 Maverick a comparatively strong used choice within its generation, assuming no undisclosed production changes. **Takeaway: The 2024 model year appears to be the most refined thus far, making it a favorable used purchase.**
