Ford Motor Company is recalling 242,669 units of its 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles over the failure of rear tail lights to illuminate, causing it to reduce the vehicle's visibility, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Wednesday.

On Monday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation said it opened a preliminary investigation into Ford Motor's hands-free driving technology BlueCruise after being informed of two incidents involving Mustang Mach-E cars that collided with stationary vehicles.

And mid-April, Ford recalled 456,565 units of some compact SUVs and pickups in the United States over loss of drive power due to a low battery issue, the NHTSA said.
