Ford has issued a recall affecting about 242,000 Ford Maverick trucks due to a tail light malfunction that increases the risk of an auto accident.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the Ford Maverick recall on April 30, after the manufacturer determined the vehicles may deactivate one or both tail lights. This can reduce the vehicle’s visibility to others on the road.

Ford discovered that the body control module (BCM) was incorrectly calibrated, which makes it falsely detect a current overload in one or both taillight circuits. The manufacturer warns that this may cause the tail lights to go out while driving, increasing the chance of a crash that can result in serious injuries.
