US SUV safety recalls

Entities: Ford Bronco · Ford Motor Company · Ford Bronco Sport · National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

Overview

In late June 2026 Jaguar Land Rover began a U.S. recall of over 250,000 Defender, Discovery and Range Rover SUVs after a corrosion‑prone driver‑airbag connector was found to risk airbag deployment. Dealers apply a protective gel to the clockspring terminals at no charge.

In July 2026 the NHTSA required Ford to recall roughly 565,000 Bronco and Bronco Raptor SUVs built between 2021 and 2026 because a wiring‑bundle in the engine compartment can abrade insulation and short‑circuit, potentially causing a fire. Ford estimates the defect is present in about 1 % of the fleet but is recalling the entire population as a precaution. Notification letters to U.S. owners are slated for Aug 24‑28, and a parallel Canadian recall covers 36,061 vehicles. Dealers will install a heavy‑duty protective sheath over the exposed wiring free of charge; NHTSA has logged 15 fire‑related incidents but no injuries.

A related July 2026 recall adds about 230,000 Bronco and Bronco Sport models for a software fault that can leave the digital instrument cluster blank at start‑up, removing speed, warning and fuel‑level displays. Owners are instructed to bring affected vehicles to authorized service centers for corrective repairs.
