ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FRONT UNDERHOOD
A short circuit in the engine compartment can create heat or spark, increasing the risk of a fire.
23 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations, 478 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A short circuit in the engine compartment can create heat or spark, increasing the risk of a fire.
A detached fender flare can become a road hazard and increase the risk of a crash.
A detached section of roof can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
A rearview image that continues to be displayed after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse may distract the driver, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2022 FORD BRONCOs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
