## What is wrong

Ford Motor Company \(Ford\) is recalling certain 2024\-2025 Bronco vehicles.  The front lower control arm fasteners may not have been tightened properly, allowing the control arm to detach from the frame.


## What can happen

A detached control arm can cause a loss of vehicle steering and control, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until they have been repaired.  Dealers will inspect and verify that the lower control arm fasteners are tightened properly.  If a fastener is loose or missing, the dealer will replace the fastener.  Repairs will be performed free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2025.  Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1\-866\-436\-7332.  Ford's number for this recall is 25S48.
