If you own a Ford Bronco, check if your vehicle is part of this recall
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Ford Motor Co. has recalled over half a million Bronco SUVs due to a wiring harness in the engine compartment that may cause a short circuit and increase the risk of fire. The company announced that the recall affects 565,691 Bronco and Bronco Raptor vehicles from the 2021-2026 models. The automaker estimates that about 1% of those vehicles have the defect in the wiring harness, although it clarified that it is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue. The problem is due to inadequate protection of the harness, which can lead to exposed wires and short circuits. In the event of a short circuit, drivers may notice smoke in the air vents or a warning message on the dashboard, followed by flames coming from the engine compartment on the passenger side. To address the issue, dealers will install new covers over the wiring at no cost. The vehicle identification numbers included in the recall are now available for search at NHTSA.gov. Owners can contact Ford's customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-888-275-9171).
