Ford Recalls 163,000-Plus Bronco SUVs for Loose Seat Bolt

Affected vehicles include model-year 2021-23 Bronco SUVs. The front seat frames in these vehicles may have a loose or dislodged height-adjust pivot bolt, which may prevent the seat from properly restraining an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
As a fix, dealers will replace the pivot links and bolts for free. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed Dec. 1; a second letter will be sent out once a remedy is available. Those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 25SB5), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
