What's wrong?
The moonroof glass assembly on the 2025-2026 Ford Maverick is the glass panel and frame set into the roof opening. The glass is bonded to the frame with urethane adhesive, which is the material that holds the panel in place while the truck moves, flexes, and sees wind pressure. That bond also helps seal the roof against water.
On affected Mavericks, a material quality problem with the adhesive catalyzer during moonroof module manufacturing left the urethane bond under-cured in some assemblies. Under-cured urethane does not hold the glass to the frame as designed. If the bond releases, the moonroof glass panel can detach from the vehicle while driving.
Owners can notice wind noise or water leaks coming from the moonroof area before the glass separates. Those signs point to a weak seal or bond at the moonroof assembly, and the vehicle needs dealer inspection under Ford recall 26V157.

What's the safety risk?
A detached moonroof glass panel can fall from the vehicle, create a road hazard, and increase the risk of a crash. Wind noise or water leaks around the moonroof are warning signs to take seriously. Schedule inspection promptly. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Ford Maverick is included in this recall.
- Watch for Ford's owner letter before scheduling dealer work.
- Contact a franchised Ford dealer for the free moonroof-glass inspection once the repair is open.
- Reference recall number 26V157 when you call, and ask whether the moonroof glass needs replacement because the glass panel was not bonded correctly to the frame.
- Avoid car washes and high-pressure roof cleaning until the dealer checks the moonroof glass.
What happens at the repair
Ford has not listed the final dealer repair as available yet. Once the repair opens, a Ford technician will inspect the moonroof glass and replace the glass if it is not bonded correctly to the frame. Parts and labor will be free under the recall. Ford uses its general reimbursement plan on file for this campaign, so documented out-of-pocket repairs connected to this moonroof glass condition can be submitted under that plan. Keep repair paperwork for the service desk or Ford customer service.
