What's wrong?
The Passenger Airbag Disable Indicator in the 2025 Ford Maverick is the dashboard light that tells occupants when the passenger airbag is turned off. It sits in the instrument panel bezel, the trim panel that holds and frames parts of the dashboard. The light has to stay visible so occupants can understand the passenger airbag status.
On recalled Mavericks, the bezel features that hold the indicator were not stiff enough to keep the indicator snaps locked in place. The indicator can loosen or drop behind the instrument panel bezel. When that happens, the light is not visible to occupants, so the vehicle does not meet the required occupant crash protection standard for that indicator.
The warning sign is visual. Owners can see that the Passenger Airbag Disabled Indicator is loose, crooked, missing from its normal position, or dislodged inside the instrument panel.

What's the safety risk?
The air bag indicator light can fail to warn occupants that an air bag is deactivated, increasing injury risk in a crash. If the Passenger Airbag Disabled Indicator looks loose or dislodged, schedule the repair soon and tell the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025 Ford Maverick is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer to confirm scheduling for the free air bag indicator light retaining-clip installation, which keeps the deactivated air bag warning light visible.
- Bring Ford's owner letter if you have it, or reference recall number 25V350 when you call.
- Confirm the dashboard air bag indicator is visible before driving, and ask the Ford dealer for guidance if the light is loose or dislodged.
What happens at the repair
Ford's repair plan calls for a Ford technician to install retaining clips for the air bag indicator light so the dashboard warning light stays visible to occupants. The dealer repair will be free once available, with parts and labor covered under recall 25V350. If you already paid out of pocket for a related air bag indicator light repair before the recall notice, Ford's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring repair paperwork and proof of payment to the service desk when you ask about reimbursement.
