Ford Bronco Wiring Recall

The Ford Bronco has built a reputation for its adventurous spirit, off-road performance, and cutting-edge technology.

What Is the Ford Bronco Wiring Recall?

The Ford Bronco wiring recall is Ford Safety Recall 26S55 / NHTSA Recall 26V468. Certain 2021–2026 Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor vehicles may have insufficient abrasion protection on the engine-compartment wiring harness. Movement between the harness and surrounding components can damage the wiring, potentially causing a short circuit, heat, or arcing that could increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire. Ford dealers will add protective sheathing and abrasion tape to the affected wiring harness at no charge.

In some cases, drivers may notice smoke coming through the cabin air vents or a warning message on the instrument panel. A fire could potentially develop in the passenger-side engine compartment if the wiring short-circuits.

Wiring Defect and Potential Risks

The recall involves the engine-compartment wiring harness, which may have insufficient abrasion protection. Movement between the harness and surrounding components can damage the wiring and expose internal circuits. If the exposed wiring short-circuits, it can create heat or electrical arcing and increase the risk of an engine-compartment fire.

Ford has identified 15 fire incidents associated with this condition, but no related accidents or injuries had been reported when the recall was announced. Ford’s recall remedy is to add convolute sheathing and abrasion tape to the engine-compartment wiring harness at no charge.
