What's wrong, in plain English
On these four-door Bronco vehicles, the passenger-side rear door may be able to open from inside the vehicle even when the child safety lock is set to the 'ON' position. This means the lock may not work the way it is supposed to when it has been activated, allowing the door to be opened from inside instead of staying secured as expected.
What you should do
Contact a Ford dealer, or call Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
Dealers will inspect and, if needed, replace the lock and latch free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
