What this recall means for you
Certain 2021 Ford Bronco vehicles have a passenger front air bag in which a vent can open too early during deployment. This can cause the air bag to deploy improperly, and the vehicle no longer meets the federal occupant crash protection standard.
An improperly deployed air bag raises the risk of injury to the passenger in a crash. If you own a 2021 Bronco, check your VIN for open recalls and contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 if you have questions.
The remedy is free: an authorized Ford dealer will replace the passenger air bag at no charge to you.
