Ford Motor Company is recalling 4,497 model year 2024-2025 Bronco and Ranger vehicles because a critical fastener in the front steering system may be missing or loose. Specifically, the front upper control arm ball joint fastener may not have been properly secured during manufacturing, which can cause the control arm to detach from the steering knuckle. Ford dealers will inspect the fastener and tighten or replace it as necessary for free.
If the control arm detaches, the driver will lose steering control of the vehicle, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Inspection and tightening or replacement of the ball joint fastener.
