Official NHTSA campaign record

Why the reported issue matters

Detached trim pieces can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Official NHTSA campaign record

Prepare your observation

Identify the affected feature from the report. Do not deliberately test a trapping, detachment or unexpected-opening hazard.

A reported defect describes the campaign. It does not establish what caused a symptom on your individual vehicle, and absence of a symptom does not establish that an open recall is complete.

The reported manufacturer remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the quarter window glass assemblies, as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed September 14, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S56. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning September 7, 2026.

The source describes a pending remedy or parts

The dated official record describes development, future availability or a later remedy step. It does not establish today’s parts or appointment availability. Confirm the current remedy and any interim instructions with the manufacturer.

Timing language in the official record

Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available.

This describes the dated source record. Current arrangements for your VIN remain unconfirmed.

Choose the next step from the official result

Not checked or unavailable

Keep eligibility unconfirmed. Use the official lookup or contact the manufacturer with 26V487000.

This campaign is open

Confirm current interim instructions, remedy availability and service arrangements. Keep the dated answer.

Not listed as open

Review earlier repair records and lookup limits if needed. A zero-open result does not explain an unresolved symptom.

Work order records recall work

Keep the campaign number, remedy and date together. Ask separately about a symptom that remains after the visit.

Your campaign-specific service questions

Use these questions with the official report. Keep the answers beside the remedy record; “discussed” records a conversation, not a completed repair.

  1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 26V487000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

    A matching model and year is only a starting point. The official lookup or manufacturer must establish the individual vehicle’s status.

  2. The source describes a pending remedy or parts. What is available now for this VIN, and which interim instructions still apply?

    The dated official record describes development, future availability or a later remedy step. It does not establish today’s parts or appointment availability. Confirm the current remedy and any interim instructions with the manufacturer.

  3. Which door, window, latch or body component is covered, and what interim use instructions apply?

    Compare the answer with the reported component: STRUCTURE:EXTERIOR TRIM.

  4. If an inspection determines which work is needed, what was inspected, what was found, and which corrective work followed?

    Ask for the inspection result as well as the final action. A parts list alone may not describe an inspection-based remedy.

  5. Which items in the reported replacement remedy for 26V487000 were replaced, and are they identified on the work order?

    Keep the replaced items and the campaign number together so that a later visit can distinguish recall work from other repairs.

  6. What dated document records the remedy performed under 26V487000, and what should I do if the reported concern remains?

    Keep campaign completion and unresolved symptoms as separate questions. A saved worksheet or booked appointment does not establish a repair.
