Ford Recalls 2025-2026 Maverick Vehicles Over Detaching Moonroof Hazard

What Happened

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2025-2026 Maverick vehicles due to a manufacturing defect involving the moonroof assembly. The moonroof glass may not have been bonded correctly to the moonroof frame. This improper bonding could result in the glass panel detaching from the vehicle while it is in operation.

Which Products Are Affected

The recall affects a total of 646 vehicles. The specific models involved are:

• Make/Model: FORD MAVERICK
• Model Years: 2025 and 2026
• NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V157000
• Ford Recall Number: 26S18

What You Should Do

Owners of the affected vehicles should contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford dealers will inspect the moonroof glass and replace the glass assembly if necessary, free of charge. Interim notification letters informing owners of the safety risk are expected to be mailed by March 30, 2026. A second set of letters will be sent once the final remedy is available, which is anticipated in April 2026. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) became searchable on the NHTSA website on March 18, 2026.

Why This Matters

A detached moonroof glass panel can become a significant road hazard for other motorists, substantially increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
