# Service bulletin SSM 53801 A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned. - Type: Service bulletin - NHTSA id: 11018523 - Published by NHTSA: 2025\-05\-21 - Manufacturer's number: SSM 53801 - Manufacturer's date: 2025\-05\-16 - NHTSA component: ENGINE; POWER TRAIN - Manufacturer's system: battery air conditioning control module ACCM ## NHTSA's summary Some 2022\-2025 Maverick vehicles with a hybrid powertrain and built on or before 17\-Feb\-2025 may exhibit a 12V battery drain. This may be due to the software installed in the air conditioning control module \(ACCM\). To correct this condition, perform a battery condition test as outlined in Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 414\-01 Battery, Mounting and Cables \> Diagnosis and Testing \> Pinpoint Test A. Service the battery as necessary. Connect a battery charger such as Rotunda GRX\-3590 or DCA\-8000 to the 12\-volt battery. Download and run the "air conditioning control module \(ACCM\) software update" application in the Ford Diagnosis And Repair System \(FDRS\) scan tool. If the battery was replaced, download and run the "BCM\-reset the battery monitoring sensor learned values" application in FDRS. For claiming, use causal part 19703 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards \(SLTS\) Manual. ## The document - [NHTSA's copy of the document (PDF)](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11018523-0001.pdf) - [If that address does not open, try this one](https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2025/MC-11018523-9999.pdf) The document is the manufacturer's.

For 20222026 vehicles equipped with a 8F35 transmission, a revision to the Road Testing Vehicle procedure has been made in the WSM, Section 307\-01 \> Diagnosis and Testing. This updated procedure improves the diagnosis of customer reported transmission concerns and aids in locating the proper root cause. During diagnosis and testing, details regarding whether the condition is more prevalent when the vehicle is hot or cold, throttle percentage at the time of occurrence, vehicle speed, the specific shift involved, and whether the issue occurs during transmission engagements \(N\>R, N\>D, R\>D, and/or D\>R\) should be noted in the warranty claim. Engineering requests including these detailed operating conditions that will significantly assist with root cause analysis. Diagnosis, testing, and repair should use established labor times outside this article. - [TSB 26\-2428](/bulletins/11037776.md), 2026-10-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM; UNKNOWN OR OTHER; POWER TRAIN. This bulletin supersedes 25\-2326. Reason for update: update the service procedure to include the fuel tank isolation valve replacement, update the causal part number, and increase the labor time allowance to include the fuel tank isolation valve replacement. Some of the vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) P2450 stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to the software in the PCM and/or the fuel tank isolation valve. - [TSB 26\-2428](/bulletins/11037775.md), 2026-10-02, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM; POWER TRAIN; UNKNOWN OR OTHER.

Some 2022\-2024 Maverick Hybrid vehicles may exhibit an intermittent vibration and/or crunching noise after a cold start while the engine is running with the vehicle stationary in drive with no throttle input and brakes applied. An intermittent engine rocking or rolling motion in one direction may also be observed while the concern is present with the hood open.\
\
The noise may be present with no drivability concerns, relevant diagnostic trouble codes \(DTC\) stored, warning indicators illuminated and/or warning messages displayed. The noise may reduce or be eliminated after several minutes of driving when the powertrain warms up.\
\
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 engineering is currently working on a solution for this condition that is expected in Q4 of 2026. Replacement of the engine or transmission will not resolve this condition.
