Ford Issues Recall for Bronco SUVs Over Loose Fender Flares

Ford Motor Company has announced a safety recall affecting certain Bronco models due to a problem with fender flares that could detach while driving. The issue involves the plastic trim pieces around the wheel wells, which may separate from the vehicle if not properly secured. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, loose flares pose a hazard to other drivers and could increase the risk of a crash.

The recall covers select 2021 through 2023 Bronco SUVs equipped with factory-installed fender flares. Ford says the flares may have been improperly bonded during assembly, leading to potential separation at highway speeds. Owners will be notified starting next month, and dealers will inspect and reattach the flares free of charge.

No injuries have been reported so far, but the company is urging affected owners to schedule service promptly.
