VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2025 Bronco and Ranger vehicles. During manufacturing, the windshield may not have been properly bonded to the vehicle, allowing it to detach in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 212, "Windshield Mounting."
- What it can cause
- In the event of a crash, windshield detachment can increase the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will remove and replace the windshield, free charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 20, 2025. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 25C52. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 14, 2025.
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 9 vehicles this is a small campaign: 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 44 times before this, most recently in April 2025 as 25V237000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 84 complaints with NHTSA, 14 of them before this campaign was filed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 23 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V468000 (engine), 26V403000 (structure), 26V343000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V268000 (seats).
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.
Filed by Ford Motor Company with NHTSA on October 10, 2025 as campaign 25V683000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
