Buying a used 2021 Ford Bronco? Check these 20 recalls first

The 2021 Ford Bronco has 20 recalls in this group. Block-heater fire risk and engine wiring shorts stand out, alongside valve failure, fuel-pump stalling, shock corrosion, and transmission-to-transfer-case joint wear. Multiple camera actions address failed, frozen, or lingering images; other recalls involve airbags, seats, child locks, radar, belts, and roof panels. Its 225 owner complaints are unverified reports, led by engine 68, electrical system 29, unknown or other 28, and suspension 24. Reports include 6 crashes, 3 fires, and 7 injuries.

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. Obtain heater, wiring, engine-valve, and fuel-pump recall repair records.
3. Verify shock-absorber and transmission-to-transfer-case joint recall completion.
4. Check camera behavior and confirm airbag and roof-panel recall 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.
