“Ford has an active recall for failed rear shock absorbers. My bronco was inspected at the Ford dealership, the tech indicated the shock absorbers failed inspection and needed a recall. A picture was sent to Ford, Ford declined the recall stating the rust was not corrosion. Therefore, my bronco did not receive the recall. Recall number is.25V025.”
NHTSA complaint #11702033, filed 2025-11“On August 26, 2026, my 2022 Ford Bronco experienced a serious safety related failure while I was driving. The vehicle displayed a sway bar disconnect system warning and became disabled, leaving me stranded on the side of the road. The Bronco had to be towed to a Ford dealership, where it is available for inspection. Ford previously claimed that it inspected my Bronco under a recall specifically pertaining to the sway bar system. Ford determined that the sway bar did not need to be replaced and closed the recall as completed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11760585, filed 2026-08“My car has a recall NHTSA #25V025 for the rear shock absorber external reservoir corrosion since1/21/2025. A few weeks ago the recall status shows remedy available so I brought it in to a Ford Dealership on 8/15/2025. The tech inspected the car and both absorbers showed signs of oil leaking and they need to be replaced. The pictures also showed the reservoirs are close to be separated from the vehicle. The dealer told me the parts are in back order with no ETA despite the recall status shows remedy available. …”
NHTSA complaint #11681813, filed 2025-08“Rear passenger shock was leaking oil around braking system creating burnt oil smell while driving. At this point mileage for warranty was over by 2,000 miles and was not covered by Ford warranty. We had to pay over $900.00 for the replacement from Ford. Fast forward 2 months, on the freeway driving 70 mph, the rear driver’s side shock reservoir detached and almost hit the car behind us. Again, we are paying Ford again for the other shock. This recall really needs to be in forced a lot quicker because of the safety of other drivers.”
NHTSA complaint #11676810, filed 2025-07“On January 17, 2023, while driving down a commonly driven road (Muldoon) in Anchorage, Alaska at approximately 30 mph, I suddenly heard a large air escaping noise Psh Psh Psh Psh and it took me a moment to realize what was happening--the dash indicated the PSI of my rear driver's-side tire was deflating rapidly, to completely flat. Had the vehicle lost control in these snowy conditions, it could have ran into multiple other cars on the road--not ruling out the possibility of a roll-over type accident. …”
