What this recall means for you
On certain 2023-2024 Ford Bronco 4-door vehicles, the left-side rear door can be opened from inside the vehicle even when the child safety lock is set to "ON." The child safety lock is meant to prevent rear passengers, especially children, from opening the door themselves.
Because the child safety lock may not work as intended, a rear door can open unintentionally, which can increase the risk of injury. Owners should not assume the child lock is protecting a child on this vehicle.
Dealers will inspect the child safety locks and replace the rear door latch if needed, at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed April 9, 2024. You can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 with questions, and you can check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
