STRUCTURE:BODY
- The defect
- Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2022-2026 Bronco vehicles. The fender flares may not be properly secured and detach from the vehicle.
- What it can cause
- A detached fender flare can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair, or replace the fender flares as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed August 11, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late August 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S47. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning August 7, 2026.
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 36,046 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 87% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Ford vehicles have been recalled over the structure 47 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V368000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 715 complaints with NHTSA, 581 of them before this campaign was filed. 51 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2022, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 46 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V580000 (air bags), 26V548000 (engine and engine cooling), 26V468000 (engine), 26V343000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 June 24, 2026 as campaign 26V403000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
