How to check if your Maverick has an open recall
- Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, or your registration.
- Enter it in the free VIN recall check. It queries NHTSA for your exact vehicle, not just the model.
- If a recall is open, call any Ford dealer's service department to book the free repair. Bring the recall number from the list above.
- Buying used? Ask the seller for the dealer's recall-completion printout before you pay.
Or browse by year, for example the 2026 Ford Maverick recall check.
Frequently asked questions
How many recalls does the Ford Maverick have?
45 NHTSA safety recall campaigns cover the Ford Maverick across model years 2022–2026. A single campaign often spans several model years, so the per-year counts in the table add up to more than 45. The 2022 model year has the most, with 28.
What is the latest Ford Maverick recall?
26V550000, filed with NHTSA on Aug 25, 2026: structure (body), covering 2026 Maverick models. The fix is free at Ford dealers.
What is the biggest Ford Maverick recall?
By vehicles covered, 26V104000 (Feb 20, 2026), a electrical system campaign covering about 4,381,878 vehicles in total. That count is for the whole campaign, which can include other models besides the Maverick.
How do I check if my Ford Maverick has an open recall?
Run your 17-character VIN through a VIN recall check. A model-level list can't tell you whether your car was built in the affected range or has already been repaired. Any Ford dealer can also look up the VIN and do the repair.
Are Ford recall repairs free?
Yes. Safety-recall repairs are done free at franchised Ford dealers, whether or not the warranty has expired and wherever you bought the car. Manufacturers must offer a free remedy for vehicles up to 15 years old at the time the recall is filed, and many still repair older ones.
