Ford Motor Company: 2023 Bronco Recalled for Unsecured Transmission and Rollaway Risk

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling 2 units of the 2023 Bronco because the transmission park system may have been damaged during assembly. This defect can prevent the parking pawl from fully engaging, which may lead to the vehicle rolling away while parked. To resolve this issue, Ford dealers will replace the entire transmission at no cost to the vehicle owners.

Risk

If the parking pawl fails to engage, the vehicle can roll away unexpectedly even after being placed in 'Park.' This movement increases the risk of a crash or injury to bystanders.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if your vehicle is affected by checking your VIN on the NHTSA website or contacting your local Ford dealer regarding the 2023 Bronco.
  2. If your vehicle is part of this recall, contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and reference recall number 23S44 to schedule a free transmission replacement.
  3. Always engage the electronic parking brake as an additional precaution when parking your vehicle until the transmission has been replaced.
