Ford Motor Company: Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation

Agency Publication Date: October 16, 2024

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 2,416 vehicles, specifically certain 2024 Ranger and 2024-2025 Bronco models. A critical suspension part called the front upper control arm may have been installed with a loose or missing nut, which can cause the control arm to detach from the wheel assembly. Dealers will inspect the fastener and, if necessary, replace the ball joint and wheel knuckle assembly for free to ensure the vehicle remains safe to drive.

Risk

If the control arm detaches, the driver can suddenly lose steering control of the vehicle. This loss of control significantly increases the chance of a crash occurring while driving.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is affected by identifying your model and year: this recall includes 2024 Ford Ranger and 2024-2025 Ford Bronco vehicles.
  2. Contact a Ford or Lincoln dealer to schedule a free inspection; technicians will verify that the ball joint fastener is properly tightened and replace any damaged parts if the fastener is loose or missing.
  3. For further assistance or to check your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), contact Ford Customer Service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 24S64.
  4. You may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
