Ford Motor Company is recalling approximately 405 of its 2025 Ranger vehicles because the top cover of the instrument panel may prevent the passenger airbag from deploying correctly. If the airbag is obstructed during a collision, it will not provide the intended level of protection for the occupant. Dealers will replace the instrument panel assembly for free to ensure the airbag can deploy as designed.
The dashboard's top cover can physically block the passenger airbag from inflating properly during a crash. This failure to deploy as intended increases the risk of injury to the front-seat passenger during an accident.
Replacement of the instrument panel assembly.
Recall involves vehicles where the instrument panel top cover fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208.
