• The Ford Bronco has been recalled yet again, but this time there is an issue with the alignment of the splines for the transmission and transfer case, which could be found on 4922 units.
• Recall impacts Broncos from 2021 to 2025 that received incorrect repairs, leaving their splines vulnerable to premature wear, potentially causing the vehicle to lose its ability to move or roll away.
• Ford wants its customers to take their Broncos to the nearest dealer for alignment and possible replacement of drivetrain components.

For Ford vehicle owners, recalls have been quite frequent, and this time even the popular Bronco model is involved in yet another recall. This new recall stems from the consequences of a wrongly executed earlier repair, as explained in the documents of this recall which have been filed with NHTSA. The problem can lead to a loss of motive power in these vehicles or even allow them to roll away.

The Broncos under recall are those manufactured between the years 2021 and 2025. The reason for this recall is the misalignment of the transmission-to-transfer case joint, leading to premature wear of the transmission output shaft spline and the transfer case input shaft spline. This will give you an idea about why it could be a concern. Apart from preventing torque transfer and stopping the vehicle from moving forward, it can also stop the park pawl functionality from performing its duty. The failure of park pawl functionality makes the vehicle susceptible to rolling away unless the Broncos’ parking brake is engaged.

Ford mentions that the symptoms include a grinding or clunking sound; however, it recommends that vehicle owners visit their nearest dealership for rectifying the problem. The process includes the alignment of the joint between the transmission and the transfer case by means of correctly torqued bolts. The splines will be replaced in case they exhibit wear, as part of the warranty coverage.
