Just days after announcing a civil fine against Ford for moving too slowly on a recall, the U.S. government unveiled two investigations into recalls that may not have worked or covered enough vehicles.

The largest of the probes covers about 457,000 Ford Bronco Sport SUVs and Maverick small pickups.

In April Ford recalled certain 2021 through 2024 Bronco Sports and 2022 through 2023 Mavericks were recalled because they can suddenly lose power.

The agency will investigate whether the recall was effective.
