Ford Recalls Half a Million SUVs because Trim Can Fall Off
- Ford recalled more than 550,000 vehicles on May 27, 2025, including 2025 Mavericks and 2016-2017 Explorers in the United States due to airbag and structural issues.
- The recall was initiated after federal safety regulators provided Ford with numerous owner complaints in March 2025, leading the company to reexamine a defect initially detected in 2019.
- The defect involves the B-pillar door trim detaching while driving, which can cause road debris hazards and obscures the passenger airbag indicator, potentially increasing injury risks.
- Ford will mail owner notification letters starting June 9, 2025, and will fix the affected vehicles free of charge at dealerships under recall numbers NHTSA 25V347 and Ford 25S53.
- Though Ford reports no accidents linked to the defect, the recall signals ongoing safety precautions and the need for vehicle owners to promptly address this structural issue.
