Service bulletin SSM 52180
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.

A recall listed here may apply to some of the same vehicles. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle.
| SSM 52385 | 2024-04-04. Service bulletin. Some 2024 Bronco vehicles equipped with a factory hard top build on 07-Feb-20204 and through 13-Feb-2024 may have a hard top rear cap that is difficult to remove. This may be due to a temporary production change to the bolts that were used to retain the rear cap to the body. These unique bolts have a yellow nylon locking material on the bolt threads that cannot be cleaned off. To correct this condition, replace all hard top rear cap to body bolts with the correct catalog replacements. |

| SSM 52370 | 2024-04-04. Service bulletin. Some 2023-2024 F-150 and 2024 Bronco/Transit vehicles may exhibit Apple Carplay Bluetooth connectivity concerns. This may be due to the accessory protocol interface module (APIM) software. To correct this concern, perform a soft reset by pressing the Power and Seek Foward buttons for 5 seconds, or use the SYNC Module Reset function of the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS). For claiming, use causal part 14G670 and applicable labor operations in Section 10 of the Service Labor Time Standards (SLTS) Manual. |
| SSM 52328 | 2024-03-20. Service bulletin. Some 2021-2024 Bronco/F-150, 2023-2024 Escape/F-Super Duty vehicles equipped with SYNC 4 may experience a concern during accessory protocol interface module (APIM) programming where the vehicle's center display screen indicates USB Error. This may be due to a lack of memory space available to perform the APIM software update. If it is a memory concern, the Ford Diagnosis and Repair System (FDRS) will provide an option to delete the voice application. Re-enter the module programming and when prompted, do not select first option - SYNC Module (APIM) Software Update, select the second option - Delete Voice Application(s) From Module. Once deleted, run the SYNC Module (APIM) Software Update as directed, this will update the software and automatically reload the voice app. If the voice delete option is not available, continue with normal diagnostics in the Workshop Manual, Section 418. |
| TSB 24-2040 | 2024-03-07. Service bulletin. Some 2021-2024 Bronco vehicles may exhibit paint damage on the rear quarter panel due to contact with the soft top rear window. This may be due to a contact condition that can occur during extreme off-road driving between the soft top rear window and the rear quarter panel. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to modify the rear window. |
| TSB 24-2021 | 2024-02-06. Service bulletin. This article supersedes TSB 23-2213 to revise Figure 1, add 2024 vehicles and the part list.
