Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 3,170 of its 2025-2026 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles. The Occupant Classification Sensor (OCS) in these vehicles may fail to correctly identify whether an adult or child is sitting in the front passenger seat. Ford dealers will replace the faulty sensor free of charge to ensure the safety systems function as required by federal safety standards.
If the sensor fails to detect a passenger, the front passenger airbag may not deploy during a crash. This failure to deploy as intended significantly increases the risk of injury for the occupant in the event of an accident.
Dealers will replace the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, free of charge.
