⚠️ URGENT SAFETY RECALL

Ford is recalling 323 units of the 2025-2026 Ford Maverick because the moonroof glass may detach from the vehicle while driving.

Yes, you read that right: the roof can fly off on the highway.

📋 Recall Details

• NHTSA Recall: 26V157
• Affected vehicles: Ford Maverick 2025-2026 with moonroof
• Potentially affected units: 323
• Estimated with actual defect: 63% (~203 units)
• Build date: Between April 15, 2025 and April 25, 2025
• Plant: Hermosillo Assembly Plant, Mexico

❓ What's the Problem?

The moonroof module has a problem with the urethane adhesive used during manufacturing:

• The adhesive did not cure correctly due to a "urethane curing behavior" issue
• This results in an insufficient bond between the glass and the module
• The moonroof glass panel may detach from the vehicle

🚨 Risks:

• Immediate danger to other drivers — a glass panel flying down the highway can cause serious accidents
• Danger to occupants — if the panel partially detaches first
• Increased crash risk — distraction if the roof opens unexpectedly

🔍 How Was It Discovered?

Ford's investigation began in early 2026 after a report of moonroof glass detachment in Brazil.

Ford traced the problem to a specific production lot with the adhesive curing defect.

✅ What Will Ford Do?

Solution:

• Dealers will inspect the moonroof
• If the vehicle was built within the suspect date range, the complete moonroof module will be replaced
