“I have had recall number 25S76/25V467 on my vehicle since July 2025. The dealership keeps telling me this recall is for a software update and my vehicle is updated. ! But why would the recall still be showing as incomplete then? And how is recall 25S76/25V467 just a software update? It doesn't sound anything software related!!”

“My 2023 Ford Bronco Sport has an open safety recall (25S76) for a cracked fuel injector that may cause a fire risk. The manufacturer has issued the recall but does not yet have a permanent repair available. I am concerned about the safety risk and lack of remedy”

NHTSA complaint #11722963, filed 2026-03

“The fuel injectors are failing, the vehicle smells of gasoline fumes in the cabin if the vehicle and we are now getting check engine lights due to emissions which I contribute to the failing fuel injectors which have been under recall for quite some time now and Ford does not seem to want to fix this issue. They can only tell us they do not have a fix yet at this time. My understanding this is a very dangerous issue as the vehicle can catch on fire due to this malfunction. I have young children who all ride in this vehicle.”

“Hello, I wanted to share an issue I recently encountered with my car. After coming back from a hike, my car stalled and took long to start. When it finally did start, the engine light came on, and I was unable to go over 20 miles per hour. I read the code, which indicated a problem with the fuel injectors. I ended up being stranded for about 5 hours in a blizzard until I could get help. I took the car to the Ford dealership, and they diagnosed the issue as a faulty high-pressure fuel pump and sensor, both of which need to be replaced. …”

NHTSA complaint #11631120, filed 2024-12

“I received a recall letter in August 2025 stating there is is possible for fuel injector to crack which may result in fuel accumulating on the top of the engine. The liquid fuel and/or fuel vapor that accumulates near a hot surface, such as a hot engine or exhaust may ignite resulting in an under-hood fire. It has been 6 months and there are still no parts available. I find this to be unacceptable and am worrying about this all the time. I personally know someone who's Bronco sport caught on fire and destroyed the car. It could most certainly destroy more than just the car. …”
