- Ford recalled one Maverick and one Escape after a supplier mix-up.
- Mislabeled ECU covers created overheating risks and brake pressure loss.
- Both were built in June 2025 before the issue was discovered internally.
Ford’s recall count in the US continues to climb, as it edges ever closer to the 150 mark this year. However, there’s a small consolation this time as only two cars are involved. That’s almost quaint, considering the company spent the last 24 hours recalling another 230,000 Broncos and nearly 21,000 Escape and Corsair SUVs..
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f”);
}
});
In this case, the official notice identifies a single 2025 Ford Maverick, built on June 25, 2025, and a single 2025Ford Escape, manufactured on June 17, 2025. Both vehicles were fitted with an electric brake booster that may contain the wrong electronic control unit cover, prompting the call for inspection and repair.

Ford explains that using an incorrect ECU cover could cause internal temperatures to exceed what the control unit’s components can safely handle. This might lead to ECU failure, which in turn could cause a loss of brake pressure and compromise the car’s stability control systems.
In simpler terms, the brakes might not behave as expected, and that’s never good news for anyone on the road.
Should either the Maverick or the Escape experience an ECU failure, Ford says drivers will see several warning lights illuminate on the instrument cluster.
Who’s At Fault?
According to the company, the mix-up traces back to the electric brake booster ECU housing, where covers were accidentally installed after being stored in a mislabeled container at the Mexican supplier Aumovio.
A staff member at Ford’s Flat Rock Assembly Plant first noticed the issue in September. Soon after, it was brought to Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group, and earlier this month, the decision to issue a recall was made. Crucially, Ford says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to the issue.
var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};
adpushup.que.push(function() {
if (adpushup.config.platform !== “DESKTOP”){
adpushup.triggerAd(“bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c”);
} else {
adpushup.triggerAd(“9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751”);
}
});
Owners of the affected Maverick and Escape models will be notified of the recall between November 24 and November 28. Dealerships have been instructed to replace the entire electric brake booster of the two vehicles.
