## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2025\-2026 Bronco Sport and Maverick vehicles. The Occupant Classification Sensor \(OCS\) unit may fail to correctly detect the presence of an adult or child in the front passenger seat.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

Failure to correctly detect a passenger may result in the air bag not deploying as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the passenger seat occupant classification sensor, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 25, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C19. Vehicle Identification Numbers \(VINs\) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 2, 2026.
