# Service bulletin TSB 23\-2117

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

## NHTSA's summary

Some 2021\-2022 Bronco vehicles may exhibit paint damage on the rear quarter panel due to contact with the rear window assembly \(D\-pillar\).

## Other bulletins for the same vehicles and component

- [TSB 26\-2380](/bulletins/11037537.md), 2026-09-29, Service bulletin: SUSPENSION; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY; UNKNOWN OR OTHER. This article supersedes TSB 25\-2575 to update the Parts list to add the applicable body wiring harnesses and underbody shield bolts. Some vehicles listed in the Model statement above may exhibit a "Sta\-bar Disconnect Service Required" message in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\) with any of the following diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) stored in the chassis control module \(CHCM\): C103A, C1A99, C1B03, C1B07, C1B14 and/or B1A67. This may be due to water intrusion in the stabilizer bar wiring harness connector.
- [SSM 55009](/bulletins/11035101.md), 2026-07-20, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; STRUCTURE:BODY. Some 2021\-2026 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a "Park Brake Limited Function Service Required" message in the instrument panel cluster \(IPC\). This may be due to an issue with the driver door harness connector after removing and installing the removeable doors. If diagnostic trouble code \(DTC\) B1625:29 is stored in the driver door module \(DDM\), inspect connector C322C between the upper and lower door hinges that attaches to the body for proper installation and/or pin fitment. Repair as necessary. If the condition was caused by improper door installation, do not submit a claim for this condition. If no concerns are found with the connector, refer to Workshop Manual \(WSM\), Section 501\-11 \> Diagnosis and Testing for normal diagnostics.
- [SSM 54961](/bulletins/11034139.md), 2026-06-29, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; VISIBILITY/WIPER. Some 2021\-2023 Bronco vehicles may exhibit a condition where short drop windows, window bounce\-back, and/or one\-touch close does not operate properly. This may be due to loss of window initialization. Replacement or reprogramming of the DDM, PDM, and/or any other components may not resolve these conditions.The short drop windows feature may be restored by performing a reset procedure as described in the Digital Owner's Manual \> Windows \> Using Short Drop Windows \> Resetting Short Drop Windows. If the customer is experiencing an inability to fully close the window due to repeated bounce\-back events, the window bounce\-back feature may be overridden by performing an override procedure as described in the Digital Owner's Manual \> Windows \> Window Bounce\-Back \> Overriding Windows Bounce\-Back. The one\-touch feature may be restored by performing a reset procedure as described in the Digital Owner's Manual \> Windows \> Opening and Closing the Windows \> Resetting One\-Touch Close. These symptoms may return after a successful reset/override of the feature. Show the customer where they can find these procedures in the Digital Owner’s Manual so they can have the option to perform the procedures on their own should any of these symptoms return. Inform customers that engineering is aware of these conditions and working on a solution which is expected to be available by the end of Q4 2026. Monitor Professional Technician System \(PTS\) for additional information.
