ABC News - Breaking News, Latest News and Videos • • business
Key Points:
- Ford is recalling 565,691 Ford Broncos and Bronco Raptors, model years 2021-2026, due to a wiring harness defect that can cause short circuits and increase fire risk.
- The defect affects about 1% of the recalled vehicles and involves insufficient protection on the wiring harness, which can lead to exposed wires and potential engine compartment fires.
- Drivers may notice smoke from air vents or dashboard warnings before flames appear on the passenger side of the engine compartment.
- Ford dealerships will fix the issue by installing new protective covers over the wiring free of charge.
- Owners can check if their vehicle is affected using VINs on NHTSA.gov and contact Ford or NHTSA customer service for more information.
