Ford has issued recalls for specific 2024 vehicle models due to critical issues that could potentially increase the risk of accidents and fires. The affected models include the Bronco Sport and the Explorer with 3.3L Hybrid engines.
Ford Bronco Sport Recall Details:
For the 2024 Bronco Sport, the issue centers on the body and powertrain control modules that may fail to detect changes in the 12-volt battery’s state of charge. This undetected low charge could lead to a loss of essential electrical accessories such as hazard lights, or even a loss of drive power, thereby increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers are set to update the relevant software for both control modules at no cost to owners, with notification letters to be mailed by October 25, 2024. Ford’s recall number for this issue is 24S60. It is important to note that vehicles previously recalled under 24V-267 for the same problem will require this new remedy.
Ford Explorer Recall Details:
The recall for the 2024 Ford Explorer with the 3.3L Hybrid engine arises from a risk where the 12-volt battery cable may chafe against the Belt-integrated Starter Generator (BiSG) and potentially short circuit, posing a fire hazard. To resolve this, dealers will install a tie strap between the battery cable and high voltage cable, also free of charge. Owner notification letters for this recall are expected to be sent out by October 21, 2024, and the recall number is 24S61.
Owners affected by these recalls are encouraged to contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 for more information and to schedule repairs.
