AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW:CURTAIN
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022 Maverick vehicles. The side-curtain air bags may not deploy properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
- What it can cause
- Improper deployment of an air bag increases the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the left and right side-curtain air bag modules with a new design, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 30, 2023. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 22C20.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 64,974 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 90% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 50 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V337000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 1 model year the campaign names. Their owners have filed 149 complaints with NHTSA, 5 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V340000 (suspension), 26V104000 (electrical system), 25V685000 (equipment), 25V442000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on August 8, 2022 as campaign 22V594000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
