Ford Motor Company is recalling 2 units of the 2025 Bronco because a nut on the front upper control arm ball joint may be missing or loose. This defect can cause the control arm to detach from the wheel assembly, resulting in a sudden loss of steering. To fix this, dealers will inspect the fastener and either tighten it or replace the entire ball joint and knuckle assembly at no cost to the owner.
If the control arm detaches, the driver will lose steering control of the vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. Because of this critical safety risk, owners are advised to stop driving their vehicles immediately until the repair has been performed.
You have 2 options:
Inspection and tightening or replacement of the ball joint and knuckle assembly.
Stop-drive advisory.
Ford recall number 25S40; front upper control arm separation issue.
