2025 saw the Ford Motor Company roll out a mid-cycle refresh for the Maverick, which outsells the Hyundai Santa Cruz by a tremendous margin. Such updates can obviously go wrong, as exemplified by the most recent safety recall affecting the 2025 model year Maverick.Used in production between April 2024 and April 2025, the retaining clips used to secure the passenger airbag disabled indicator may be loose. The Dearborn-based automaker introduced a new type of retaining clip back on April 25, 2025. If said indicator becomes dislodged, the driver and front passenger will not be informed whether the front passenger airbag is either on or off.
The recall condition goes against the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 for occupant crash protection, therefore prompting the Ford Motor Company to recall no fewer than 63,898 examples of the 2025 Ford Maverick. Suspect vehicles were assembled at the Hermosillo plant in Mexico in the period from April 11, 2024 through April 5, 2025.
