NHTSA's summary

Some 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles may exhibit a condition where the rear lamp assemblies do not fit tightly or have a large gap to the body. Ford is aware of the concern and this condition does not affect vehicle durability and no additional diagnosis or service is required for this condition at this time. Inform customers that they can continue to drive the vehicle and a solution for this condition is expected by 3th quarter of 2024. Replacement of the rear lamp assemblies and/or retaining grommets will not resolve this condition. Monitor OASIS for additional information and schedule a service appointments for customers once the repair becomes available.

Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component
SSM 547692026-04-28. Service bulletin. Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles utilize an advanced headlamp design that features a sharp horizontal light-to-dark transition. This is an intentional optical characteristic designed to meet safety and performance standards. This transition is a normal attribute of the vehicles lighting signature and is most visible during high-beam operation. No repair is required as the system is functioning to specification. Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 417-01 Exterior Lighting > Description and Operation > Exterior Lighting - Overview has been revised to clarify this condition as an operating characteristic of the vehicle.
TSB 24-21832024-06-12. Service bulletin. Some 2024 Maverick vehicles equipped with low series headlamps and built on 14-Nov-2023 and through 31-Jan-2024 may exhibit one or both headlamp high beams inoperative with diagnostic trouble code(s) (DTCs) B14E5:01 and/or B14E7:01 stored in the BCM. This may be due to the headlamp assembly. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the headlamp assembly.

Some 2022 Maverick vehicles may exhibit a condition of intermittent headlamp operation while the vehicle is OFF and have diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1533 stored in the body control module (BCM).

For claiming, use causal part 11654 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual.
