1. Litigation and Expert Report Excerpts

• Class Action Complaint Excerpt: Litigation targeting the Bronco Sport and Maverick alleges that the factory-installed Camel Group 12-volt batteries "were susceptible to internal degradation (specifically involving an internal weld), leading to sudden power loss and stalling without warning."

2. Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) Identification

• NHTSA Recall 24V-267 / TSBs: Ford issued recalls and service messages for Maverick and Bronco Sport models addressing sudden power loss. Documents acknowledge that degradation in the 12-volt battery system or body control module calibrations can cause the vehicle to stall or fail to restart while driving.
  
  

3. Breach of Express Warranty Analysis

• Demonstrating Breach: Ford's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty covers the original 12V battery. Breach is demonstrated when dealerships replace a failed Camel Group battery with an identical, equally defective replacement unit, meaning the vehicle is never truly "repaired."

4. Breach of Implied Warranty of Merchantability Analysis

• Fitness for Ordinary Purpose: A vehicle whose electrical system completely shuts down at highway speeds due to a broken internal battery weld is extremely dangerous and unfit for ordinary use.

5. Deceptive Trade Practice & UDAP Claims

• Misrepresentations: Refusing to acknowledge the underlying manufacturing defect of the battery and instead blaming consumer driving habits (e.g., claiming the vehicle wasn't driven enough to maintain a charge) can be framed as a deceptive practice to avoid warranty payouts.
