Recall Reference Number: 26S55
Engineering vehicles you can count on is our most important job. That’s why we take extensive steps to help ensure product quality — and why we’re committed to fixing issues that come up after rollout.
In keeping with this commitment, a safety recall has been issued for 2021–2026 Bronco® SUVs.
On affected vehicles, movement between the engine compartment wiring harness and nearby components can cause the outer covering of the harness to wear down. If the covering wears away, internal electrical circuits could become exposed and contact grounded vehicle components. An exposed circuit can cause an electrical short circuit, generating heat or sparks that could result in smoke, melting, or in rare instances, an engine compartment fire.
If an electrical short occurs while driving, you may notice one or more of the following warning signs:
If you see smoke, smell burning, or see warning lights, safely pull off the road as soon as possible, turn off the engine, evacuate all occupants, and step away from the vehicle. Contact Roadside Assistance immediately.
Check open safety recalls to find out if your vehicle is included in this recall.
Your local Ford Dealer will inspect the engine compartment wiring harness.
Check if your vehicle is included in this recall by entering your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Once a repair is available, customers will be notified by mail.
Complimentary Ford Pickup & Delivery may be provided at participating Ford Dealerships once parts are available.*
