Ford Recalls Over Half a Million Broncos Due to Fire Risk Under the Hood

Ford has announced another major recall campaign, this time targeting more than half a million Bronco and Bronco Raptor SUVs sold in the United States. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 565,691 vehicles from the 2021 through 2026 model years are affected.

The issue stems from a potential defect in the engine bay’s wiring harness, where damaged insulation could cause a short circuit, leading to heat buildup, sparking, and a significantly increased fire risk.

To address the problem. Ford dealers will install a protective cover on the wiring free of charge for all affected owners. This recall comes on the heels of similar actions by other major automakers. S. due to a manufacturing flaw that could cause the engine starter to overheat and catch fire.

Earlier this year, Nissan also launched a recall campaign covering 168,149 cars. That recall was triggered by an incorrect gross axle weight rating printed on the vehicle’s certification label, which could lead to overloading and unsafe driving conditions. For Boca Auto Care customers, these headlines serve as a reminder that even the newest vehicles can have hidden defects.

If you own a Ford Bronco or any other model covered by a recall, don’t wait, schedule a checkup to ensure your safety on the road.
