Ford Bronco rear shocks can corrode and shed parts

NHTSA campaign 25V025000 · Reported 2025-01-17 · Ford Motor Company

medium How serious is it? About this label

An external reservoir that detaches from a vehicle can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

The rear shock absorbers can rust and fail. Each one has a separate fluid canister attached to the outside, and that canister can break away and fall off the vehicle entirely. A heavy part left on the road is a hazard for you and for anyone driving behind you. Ford dealers will look at the rear shocks and replace them where needed, with no charge for parts or labor.

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether your Bronco is included.
2. Contact your Ford dealer or Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (recall 25S01) to schedule an inspection.
3. Replacement of the rear shock absorbers is free if they need it.
