History Behind the Recall
Ford Motor Co. has issued a safety recall for 27,032 model year 2025 Bronco vehicles due to a defect in the child safety lock mechanism that may allow a rear door to open from the inside, even when the lock is activated.
The recall, published on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website, warns that this malfunction increases the risk of injury, particularly for children seated in the back.
According to Ford, the defect affects the left-hand rear door, where the child lock may fail to engage, thereby defeating its intended safety function.
