2025 FORD RANGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2025 Ford Ranger has 9 recalls, the most serious being a wiring harness near the sun visor or headliner that can short-circuit and start a fire in the A-pillar, and a front upper control arm ball joint that can detach and cause complete loss of steering. Two separate recalls affect the passenger airbag: a defective instrument panel can cause the airbag to fail in a crash and send panel fragments toward occupants, and separately, the instrument panel top cover can block the airbag from deploying entirely. The side curtain airbags can also tear against the B-pillar during deployment, reducing ejection protection. Two seat-related recalls cover the front seats: the driver's seat mounting bolts may be missing or loose, and a seat frame height-adjust pivot bolt may also be loose or absent, either of which can allow the seat to move or fail to restrain an occupant in a crash. The electronic brake booster can enter a failsafe mode that suddenly stiffens the brake pedal, extending stopping distances and disabling some driver assistance features. A software misconfiguration in the instrument cluster causes warning lights and gauges, including forward collision alerts, automatic emergency braking, traction control, and the fuel gauge, to display incorrectly or not at all.
