Plain-English summary
Ford Motor Company is recalling certain 2026 model year Ranger and Bronco vehicles. The recall addresses potential errors in the vehicle specifications listed on the tire placard and safety certification labels. These labels may contain incorrect information regarding the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), capacity weight, seating capacity, front and rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR), tire and rim dimensions, and recommended cold tire pressure. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110 and 49 CFR Part 567.
The incorrect tire size, tire pressures, and GAWR listed on the labels can allow the vehicle to be overloaded or have improperly inflated tires, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or crashes have been reported in the source text, but the defect presents a safety hazard due to the potential for improper vehicle operation.
Dealers will inspect the vehicles and, if necessary, replace the certification and TREAD labels free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 3, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C24. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on May 28, 2026.
