Ford is issuing a recall for nearly 5,000 versions of the 2021-2025 Bronco SUVs. The problem centers around the joint that connects the transmission to the transfer case. It may be misaligned from an incorrectly performed previous repair, which could lead to excessive wear on the transmission, specifically the output shaft splines and transfer case input splines.To fix the problem, Ford will have dealers inspect the transmission to the transfer case joint and, if needed, replace necessary bits of the transmission and transfer case free of charge. Letters to affected owners should have been mailed out on April 27, 2026. A secondary letter will also be sent once the fix it available, hopefully sometime in July 2026. For now, customers can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.Become an AutoGuide insider. Get the latest from the automotive world first by subscribing to our newsletter here.
