The issue came to light on January 13, 2026, when Ford received a warranty claim on a 2026 Bronco Raptor whose front right fender flare came off while driving.
As of June 5, Ford counted 409 reports across 352 unique VINs, with no accidents or injuries tied to the problem.
Owners may notice gaps or sagging around the flare, or hear rattling and flapping noises at highway speeds before detachment.
Dealers will inspect the flares, replace retaining push pins, repair loose flares, or install new ones if missing.

The recalls come just days after Ford was named the top mainstream brand in JD Power's Initial Quality Study, a recognition the company called proof of becoming the "gold standard for new vehicle quality."
