2025 Ford Maverick

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the instrument panel may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the instrument panel topper could detach and be propelled toward vehicle occupants when the passenger-front airbag inflates in a crash. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A panel that is propelled towards vehicle occupants could create an increased risk of injury. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the instrument panel topper.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, a problem in the integrated park module could cause the park pawl not to engage when the transmission is shifted to the park (P) position. If this happens, the vehicle could move when it's parked, and the parking brake isn't used. 
Note: This problem would cause a wrench light and a shift system fault message to be displayed in the instrument cluster. For the Maverick model, this recall only affects vehicles equipped with a 2.5 L hybrid engine. For the F-150 model, this recall only affects Lightning (electric) models. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A parked vehicle that rolls away could create the risk of an injury or a crash.  
 
Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the secondary on board diagnostic module (SOBDMC) software.

Issue: 
On a small number of vehicles, the electric brake booster (EBB) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the EBB control unit could overheat and cause a loss of power brake assist and stability control. 

Safety Risk: 
A loss of power brake assist could cause a sudden increase in brake pedal force and lead to an increase in stopping distance. This could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, a loss of stability control could also increase the risk of a crash.  
 
Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the electric brake booster.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the passenger airbag disabled indicator may not be properly secured to the instrument panel and could become loose. As a result, you might not be aware if the passenger-front airbag is on or off. 

Safety Risk: 
A passenger airbag disabled indicator that can't be seen could cause confusion. This could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to install clips to secure the passenger airbag disabled indicator to the instrument panel.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the engine block heater could overheat when the block heater is plugged in. 
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 1.5 L or 2.0 L engine and a factory-installed block heater. 

Safety Risk: 
An engine block heater and/or wiring that overheats or melts could create the risk of a fire. 

Corrective Actions: 
To reduce the safety risk, Ford advises you not to plug in the engine block heater until the recall repairs have been completed. Ford will notify owners by mail. You can choose to have the dealer remove the block heater, or once the final repair is available, Ford will send you another notice to advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the block heater element. The dealer will also inspect and, if necessary, replace the block heater electrical cord.
