Boca Auto Care Explains: Major Recalls Hit 741,000 SUVs and 36,000 Broncos Over Safety Flaws

A brand often hailed as the benchmark for new vehicle reliability is facing a massive recall. Over 741,000 SUVs are being called back due to a roll-away risk, while nearly 36,000 Broncos are recalled for a separate issue involving flares that could fly off. The combined recalls impact tens of thousands of drivers nationwide.

The first recall targets a potential defect in the transmission system that may allow vehicles to move unexpectedly after being shifted into park. This roll-away hazard has prompted the automaker to inspect and repair the affected models. Meanwhile, the Bronco recall stems from reports of exterior flares—often used for off-road lighting—that can detach while driving, posing a danger to other motorists.

Both issues have led to investigations and mandatory fixes.

For owners of these vehicles, Boca Auto Care recommends checking your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the manufacturer’s recall portal. Dealers will handle repairs at no cost, but it’s wise to schedule service promptly. If you’re unsure about the process or need a pre-recall inspection, our team can help assess your vehicle’s condition.

Safety is never something to put on hold—especially when a simple fix can prevent a serious accident.
