(Reuters) -Ford Motor is recalling 272,817 vehicles in the United States on concerns over battery failure, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Thursday.

The recall affects certain 2021-2023 Bronco Sport and 2022-2023 Maverick vehicles.

The 12-volt battery may experience degradation and suddenly fail, which can result in a loss of electrical accessories, including the hazard lights, or cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash, the U.S. auto safety regulator said.

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the 12-volt battery free of charge, it said.
