Ford Bronco Recall 26V299: Roof Panel Can Detach, Creating Road Hazard

NHTSA campaign 26V299, reported May 12, 2026, 16,200 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some hardtop roof panels on these vehicles may have been built improperly, allowing sections of the outer roof panel to separate and detach from the vehicle while driving.

A detached section of roof can land in the road and create a hazard for other drivers, which raises the risk of a crash. Owners were sent interim notification letters in late May 2026. Additional letters will follow once the remedy is available, which is expected in November 2026.

The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the hardtop and replace it as necessary at no charge. You can check whether your VIN is included, and contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 (Ford recall number 26S32) with questions.
