What's wrong, in plain English
On certain Ford Bronco vehicles, the molded hardtop roof panels may not have been made correctly. Because of this manufacturing problem, parts of the outer roof panel can come loose and separate from the vehicle. A section of roof breaking away and landing on the road creates a hazard for the Bronco and for other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
