Ford vehicle recalls in Australia and New Zealand
Overview
Ford has issued multiple vehicle recalls in the Oceania region involving different mechanical and software issues.
In mid-August 2026, Ford announced a recall for Ranger models in Australia and New Zealand due to a potential defect in the B-pillar trim. The issue could interfere with side curtain airbag deployment during a crash, potentially increasing injury risks. The recall affects approximately 14,000 vehicles in Australia and 2,602 Double Cab models in New Zealand.
Shortly after, Ford Australia issued a separate recall for 32 F-150 pickup trucks produced between 2021 and 2022. This recall stems from a software issue in the Powertrain Control Module that may prevent the On-Board Diagnostics system from detecting a faulty intake air temperature sensor, resulting in non-compliance with Australian emission control standards.
