2025 Ford Ranger

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the electronic brake booster (EBB) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the EBB could enter a failsafe mode and cause a sudden increase in brake pedal force. This could also cause certain advanced driver assistance systems not to work properly. 

Safety Risk: 
A sudden increase in brake pedal force can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, driver assistance systems that don't work properly could 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 EBB.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the instrument panel may not have been manufactured correctly. As a result, the passenger-front airbag may not inflate properly in a crash. Additionally, when the airbag inflates, this problem could also cause the instrument panel to break, and pieces could be propelled toward vehicle occupants. 

Safety Risk: 
An airbag that doesn't inflate properly could create an increased risk of injury in a crash. Pieces that are 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 assembly.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the side curtain airbag(s) could contact the B-pillar reinforcement flange and cause them not to inflate properly in a crash. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A side curtain airbag that doesn't work properly could increase the 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 a protective shield for the side curtain airbags.

Issue: 
Under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the electronic brake booster motor to shut down. If this happens, there could be a sudden increase in brake pedal force. This could also cause certain driver assistance systems not to work properly.
Note: This problem would cause the antilock braking system (ABS), electronic stability control (ESC) and brake warning lights to turn on, warning messages to display in the instrument cluster and a warning chime to sound.

Safety Risks: 
A sudden increase in brake pedal force can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, driver assistance systems that don't work properly could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Actions: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and send a wireless over-the-air software update to eligible vehicles to update the electronic brake booster module software. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed at a Ford dealership.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the bolts that secure the driver's seat may be missing or may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the seat could move or detach in a crash. 

Safety Risk: 
A seat that moves or detaches in a crash could increase the risk of injury. 

Corrective Action: 
Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, tighten or install the bolts for the driver's seat.
