Buying a used 2021 Ford Bronco Sport? Check these 16 recalls first

The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport has 16 recalls in this group. Front suspension detachment carries a stop-driving instruction for affected vehicles.

Other recalls cover suspension hardware, axle seizure, stalling, batteries, brakes, moonroof glass, and the camera.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Verify VIN applicability and completion of the suspension stop-driving recall.
  3. Obtain records for every applicable injector, oil-leak, and heater recall.
  4. Ask about battery failures, drivetrain symptoms, and brake repairs.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
