What's wrong, in plain English

Some Ford Bronco vehicles may have a windshield that wasn't properly glued in place at the factory. Because of this, the windshield could come loose from the vehicle during a crash instead of staying attached.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Ford dealer or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V451000.
