## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2025 Ranger vehicles. The instrument panel top cover may prevent the passenger air bag from deploying as intended.

## What can happen

An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury in a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the instrument panel assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 26, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.
