Ford Bronco, Ranger: Steering

Affects Ford Bronco, Ranger · 2024 — about 295 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain vehicles, the nuts for the ball joints that connect the front upper control arms to the steering knuckles may not have been properly tightened. As a result, the upper control arm could separate from the knuckle. If this happens, there could be a loss of steering control. Note: This is an expansion of recall 24S64 (Transport Canada recall no. 2024-620). Safety Risk: A loss of steering control could create a risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Ford will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect for loose and/or missing nut(s). If any loose or missing nuts are found, the dealer will replace the ball joint(s) and steering knuckle(s).
