🔋 Ford’s 12-Volt Battery Issues Lead to Recalls 🔋 Following complaints from Ford Bronco Sport and Maverick owners about sudden power loss and battery-related issues, the NHTSA opened a federal investigation. The issue stemmed from the 12V enhanced flooded battery (EFB) that can abruptly fail, leading to unexpected power losses and even hazard light failures. Ford has since addressed this with recalls impacting 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Maverick models, along with a battery replacement. In today’s world, where vehicle reliability is paramount, how can automakers further improve safety features to prevent such critical failures? Would an early alert system for battery health be beneficial? #VehicleSafety #AutomotiveIndustry #NHTSA #Recalls
