How to Make a Ford Bronco Recall Claim

If an automobile manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that one of their vehicles has a safety defect, the vehicle may be recalled. In these situations, the manufacturer must repair or replace the faulty component, or they must give you a refund. In early 2021, a Ford Bronco recall was issued for a small number of 2021 Ford Bronco SUVs. There were several recall issues that affected different vehicles:

Improperly folded airbag: 550 vehicles
Rear suspension: 1,638 vehicles
Driveshaft: 147 vehicles
Front suspension control arm: 106 vehicles
Sun/moon roof assembly: 1,036 vehicles
Fuel delivery module: 13,773 vehicles

If you own a Ford Bronco Sport, these recalls may affect you. You should have been contacted by the manufacturer, but if you may have missed that communication and you're concerned whether or not your vehicle is affected, you'll have to figure out on your own if your Bronco was recalled.

Of course, vehicles aren't the only products that can be recalled. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), or the U.S Food and Drug Administration may issue recalls on dog food, sunscreen, drugs like Metformin, and any other consumer product that may be tainted, improperly designed, or pose another health or safety risk. Recent high-profile recalls include the Phillips CPAP, Neutrogena sunscreen, Tyson chicken, Peloton, and Hot Pockets.

If you're not sure how to go about getting your refund or repair, don't worry. DoNotPay can help.

How Do I Make a Claim for the Ford Bronco Recall?

First, you need to determine if your vehicle is included in the Ford Bronco recall. For this particular recall:

Visit the Ford Recalls website
Enter your vehicle's VIN

No matter what is the make and model of your vehicle, the manufacturer's website will have a recalls section where you can enter your VIN and find out if your vehicle is putting you at risk. As an alternative, you can go to the NHTSA website and enter your VIN.

What Do I Need to Make a Claim, and Will I Receive My Refund Immediately?

After you determine your vehicle has been recalled, you'll need to provide some information to take advantage of a refund, repair, or component replacement:

Vehicle make and model
The dealership where you bought the vehicle
Price of the vehicle
Date of purchase

You may also want to provide pictures or incident reports if anything has happened to your vehicle that can be attributed to the recalled component. It's important to build a strong case with supporting evidence to ensure you receive the refund or repair/replacement service you're entitled to.

From there, you will have to make an appointment to repair the problem. From start to finish, claiming your recall can take days or weeks, depending upon the issue, the availability of parts, and when your mechanic can see your car. If your Ford Bronco has been recalled, figuring out what to do next can be frustrating and time-consuming--and especially if your recall came with a "do not drive" warning, it's essential to figure it out now. DoNotPay can help.
