Buying a used 2023 Ford Bronco? Check these 18 recalls first

18 NHTSA recalls · 236 owner complaints on file · 1 do-not-drive

The 2023 Ford Bronco has 18 recalls in this group. The loose lug nut recall carries a stop-driving instruction for affected vehicles. Steering gear lockup, electrical fire risks, parking system failures, and driveline wear also stand out. Camera faults, child locks, and tire labeling round out the listed issues. Its 232 unverified NHTSA owner complaints include 91 for visibility/wiper, 24 for electrical system, and 22 for power train, with 6 crashes, 3 fires, and 3 injuries reported.

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 whether the lug nut stop-driving recall applies and document completion before a test drive.
  3. Confirm steering, parking system, and driveline recall repairs.
  4. Test wipers and rearview camera; ask about electrical faults.
  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.
