Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Address Safety Concerns

NHTSA recall information identifies three safety concerns for the 2021 Ford Bronco. A rear drive unit with inadequate lubricant may seize the rear drive axle, causing loss of drive or vehicle control and increasing crash risk. Incorrect front lower control arms may affect handling and control, increasing rollover risk. Loose or missing rear suspension subframe bolts may also affect handling, raise crash risk, and reduce rear-impact crash performance. Waiting can leave a safety-related condition unresolved. A prompt VIN check helps determine whether the Driveshaft, Front Axle Support, or Suspension remedy remains open, even if the vehicle drives normally and no warning has appeared.
