福特召回8650辆2022款Maverick混合动力皮卡：电池电缆端子可能松脱致失去动力
福特汽车公司正在召回8650辆2022款Maverick混合动力皮卡。美国国家公路交通安全管理局的召回记录显示，这批车辆的12伏正极电池电缆端子可能松动或脱落，召回编号为26V724，福特内部编号为26S81。
管理局说，端子一旦松脱，车辆可能失去多项功能，包括动力转向助力、动力制动助力、车外照明，甚至失去驱动动力，每一项损失都会增加碰撞风险。此次召回只涉及2022款Maverick混合动力车型，汽油版与其它年款不在名单内。
补救办法由经销商免费更换12伏电池电缆。福特预计在11月23日前后寄出车主通知信，车辆识别号码已于11月9日起可在管理局网站查询，车主可用车牌号在同一页面检索。
管理局的公开记录没有列出与此缺陷相关的碰撞或受伤报告，也没有对这批车辆发布停驶或户外停放警告。福特为此次召回设立的客户服务电话是1-866-436-7332。
Ford Recalls 8,650 2022 Maverick Hybrids Over Loose Battery Cable Terminals
Ford Motor Company is recalling 8,650 model year 2022 Maverick Hybrid pickups after finding that the 12-volt positive battery cable terminal can loosen or detach. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filed the action as campaign 26V724, and Ford's own reference number is 26S81.
The agency says a loose terminal can cost a truck its power steering assist, power brake assist, exterior lighting or drive power, and that each loss can increase the risk of a crash. Only the 2022 model year Maverick Hybrid is named in the campaign; gasoline-powered Mavericks and later model years do not appear.
Dealers will replace the 12-volt battery cable free of charge. Ford expects to mail owner notification letters around November 23, and vehicle identification numbers became searchable on NHTSA.gov on November 9, where owners can also search by license plate.
The public NHTSA record carries no count of crashes or injuries linked to the defect, and the agency has attached no stop-driving or park-outside warning to this recall. Ford's customer service line for the recall is 1-866-436-7332.
