Buying a used 2023 Ford Bronco? Check these 18 recalls first
This is the only vehicle here with a stop-driving recall: Bronco and Ranger wheels that may have loose lug nuts. Five other critical recalls apply, covering steering lock-up, rollaway from Park, block heater fires and engine wiring shorts, plus a second rollaway-when-parked recall. Visibility/wiper leads owner complaints by a wide margin — 89 of 221 unverified NHTSA filings — followed by electrical and powertrain. Rear glass panels falling off is a separate, lower-severity recall.
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.
- Verify the lug nut recall is closed before driving — it carries a stop-driving warning
- Ask about visibility or wiper problems, by far the largest complaint area
- Check that both rollaway recalls and the rear glass panel repair are complete
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
