Ford Motor Co. is recalling more than 565,000 Ford Broncos and Bronco Raptors, model years 2021-2026, due to a wiring harness issue in the engine compartment that can short circuit and increase the risk of fire.
The problem is caused by insufficient protection on the wiring harness, which can lead to exposed wires and short circuiting. In the event of a short, drivers may notice smoke in the air vents or a warning message on their dashboard followed by flames coming from the passenger’s side of the engine compartment.
To fix the problem, dealerships will install new covers over the wiring free of charge. Ford’s number for this recall is 26S55, and vehicle identification numbers involved in this recall are now searchable on NHTSA.gov.
