Ford Motor is recalling 456,565 Bronco Sport SUVs and Maverick pickup trucks because the vehicles may fail to detect a low battery charge, which could lead to a loss of engine and electrical power while driving.
The recall covers certain 2021-2024 Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Maverick vehicles, according to a notice posted Wednesday on the National Highway Safety Traffic Safety Administration's website.
Failure in the vehicles' body and power train control modules to detect a "sudden degradation" in the cars' 12-volt battery charge could lead to "a vehicle that is unable to restart after an auto start/stop event" or cause motorists to stall while coming to a stop at a low speed, Ford said in documents filed with the U.S. safety regulator.

The peace and tranquility of Muir Woods, just north of San Francisco – home to 500+ acres of old-growth redwoods – make it just about the last place you'd expect to find a fight brewing. "The fact that they're taking down whole groups of signs about climate change and our nation's history is disappointing, and embarrassing," said retired U.S. Park Ranger Lucy Scott In:

We share our planet with maybe 10 million species of plants, animals, birds, fish, fungi and bugs. And to help identify them, millions of people are using a free phone app. "Currently we have about six million people using the platform every month," said Scott Loarie, the executive director of iNaturalist, a nonprofit.
