Dearborn, MI – July 18, 2025 – Ford (NYSE:F) is recalling 27,768 2025 Ford Bronco SUVs whose rear doors may be inadvertently opened from the inside. The defect ups the chances of injury to unrestrained rear seat occupants.
Recall summary
The child safety lock is a mechanism in the rear door latch that prevents the rear doors from being opened by pulling the interior door handle.
The left rear door of the affected vehicles can be opened even with the child safety lock on due to “out of specification“ parts.
Recall risks
Unrestrained occupants may fall out of the vehicle if the rear doors are opened while the car is moving. This can have serious or even fatal consequences.
