“The Molded-In-Color (MIC) hard top shows signs of delamination and cracking on the exterior skin of the roof panel. Models from the same production year were called under NHTSA Recall No.: 26V299. My vehicle was not included on this recall. I have attempted to have Ford inspect the issue and have refused since it is out of warranty. I am concerned that the delaminating sections will detach while driving.”
NHTSA complaint #11743541, filed 2026-06“Cracks in left rear of roof theirs a recall ones that painted but not on the matt finish one. My 2022 Ford Bronco 2 door is showing the same problems as the paint ones. And Ford Dealership said they at least a dozen or more around his dealership with the same issue. And online I have been told of 100s. Have the same thing happening to their Broncos the years 2021 to 2024 even ones sit on lots for with the same problems.”
NHTSA complaint #11749734, filed 2026-07“I am writing to formally complain about a serious and increasingly concerning problem with the hardtop on my 2022 Ford Bronce four-door. I began noticing cracks in the hardtop after becoming aware of numerous complaints from other Bronco owners regarding similar cracking problems. Once I knew what to look for, I inspected my Bronco and noticed cracks in the hardtop. I promptly brought the issue to the attention of my Ford dealership. …”
NHTSA complaint #11762457, filed 2026-09“Noticed that my hardtop was cracking around the rear windows. This is a know issue with Ford and is being replaced under warranty. Unfortunately, my vehicle is outside of the original 3 year 36,000 mile warranty period by just over 6,000 miles that would qualify for replacement. The dealer quoted over $10,000.00 to replace the entire top since all roof panels appear to be affected. This is almost 1/4 the cost of my vehicle on the used market and is unacceptable for a know issue that would normally be replaced under warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #11739202, filed 2026-05“The right rear black plastic fender flair became loose and flew off my car on the highway striking another vehicle. No damage was caused to the other vehicle which was a dump truck. I called a Ford representitive about this issue and they seemed to not care at all and told me to take it to Ford and that I have to pay to fix it. Meanwhile I looked up recalls and this part was a recalled item. The Ford representitive then told my that this recall did not pertain to my vehicle. How is this allowable? This was emailed to me by Ford. Here is your case number for your phone call today. …”
