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.
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.
