Buying a used 2021 Ford Bronco Sport? Check these 16 recalls first
An unusually dense recall list for one year: engine oil leaks, repeated fuel injector leak campaigns, a fuel leak fire risk, block heater fire risk, and a suspension recall NHTSA flags stop-driving until repaired. Additional items cover rear axle lubricant loss, wrong front suspension arms, loose rear subframe bolts and stalling. Owners filed 686 unverified complaints with 18 crashes, 16 fires and 12 injuries, concentrated in electrical, power train, engine and brakes.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the stop-driving suspension recall and the subframe bolt recall were both completed
- Get a full VIN recall report, since several fuel injector campaigns overlap
- Inspect for oil and fuel smells or leaks, and ask about any fire or stalling history
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
