## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2022 Bronco and Ranger vehicles.  The windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle, which could allow it to detach during a crash.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 212, "Windshield Mounting."


## What can happen

A windshield that separates from a vehicle during a crash can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will remove and reinstall the windshield, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed July 18, 2022.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 22C12.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
