Certain 2024 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles are recalled because their control modules may fail to detect battery charge changes, potentially resulting in loss of drive power or hazard lights and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This defect poses a significant crash risk through loss of drive power or hazard lights. Since no injuries or deaths are reported, it qualifies as a risk-of-harm product without injury, scoring High per recall severity guidelines.

Plain-English summary

Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2024 Bronco Sport vehicles because the body control module and powertrain control module may fail to detect changes in the 12-volt battery state of charge.

When the control modules do not detect a low battery charge, drivers may experience a loss of electrical accessories such as hazard lights or loss of drive power. Either condition increases the risk of a vehicle crash.

Approximately 76 vehicles are affected. Ford mailed owner notification letters on October 23, 2024. Note that vehicles previously recalled for the same issue under campaign 24V-267 will need the new software remedy.

Owners should have dealers install the free software update to both control modules. Contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 or visit your local dealer. For additional information, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 1-888-327-4236 or www.nhtsa.gov.
