Ford Bronco rear child safety lock may not work
medium How serious is it? About this label
This raises the risk of injury to a child riding in that seat, and Ford has not told owners to stop driving.
What's wrong, in plain English
On four-door Broncos, the rear passenger-side door may still open from the inside even when the child safety lock is switched on. That means a child sitting in that seat could open the door when you expect it to be locked. A dealer will inspect that door's child safety lock and latch and replace them if needed, at no cost to you.
What you should do
1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Bronco is covered. 2. Contact a Ford dealer for the inspection, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and mention recall 22S44. 3. Have the child safety lock and latch inspected and replaced if needed, free of charge.
