- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021-2022 Bronco Sport and Escape vehicles. The rear brake linings may have been manufactured incorrectly, which can affect braking performance. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
- What it can cause
- During certain situations, the driver may have to apply more brake pedal force, and the distance required to stop the vehicle may be extended, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the front brake pads, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 17, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21C31.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 114,666 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2021 to 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2021, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the service brakes, hydraulic 34 times before this, most recently in July 2021 as 21V533000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,588 complaints with NHTSA, 28 of them before this campaign was filed. 42 of those name the service brakes, hydraulic, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 30 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V340000 (suspension), 26V123000 (back over prevention), 26V117000 (visibility), 25V829000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
