Don't see any mention of the Maverick. Sounds like it might just be confined to the I3 ecoboost if that's the case.

Thank god I cancelled my Bronco Sport order after I finally test drove that 1.5T turd. What’s the recall tally on the Bronco Sport now? I think this is #8.

The Bronco Sport is a boring SUV... It's the USA made Bronco you should be aiming for.
