Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The air bag indicator light may fail to warn occupants of a deactivated air bag, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Maverick vehicles.
The air bag indicator light on the dashboard may be loose or dislodged, and not visible to occupants.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
