Loss of Engine Power (Recall)
The Body Control Module and Powertrain Control Module software may fail to detect a weakening 12V battery. This can cause the vehicle to stall at low speeds or fail to restart after the auto start-stop system engages, leaving the driver stranded in traffic.
Ford issued recall 24S24 for 2021-2024 Bronco Sport vehicles. The dealer will update the BCM and PCM software free of charge. Until the recall is completed, consider disabling the auto start-stop system by pressing the button each time you start the vehicle.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallCold-Weather Brake Moan in Reverse
A widespread issue where the brakes produce a loud moaning, squealing, or groaning noise when the vehicle is driven in reverse in cold weather or high humidity. The noise can be alarming and is the top complaint for the Bronco Sport across owner forums.
Ford issued a TSB for 2020-2022 Escape and 2022 Bronco Sport vehicles acknowledging the brake moan. The fix involves replacing the rear brake pads with an updated formulation and machining or replacing the rear rotors. Some dealers also apply anti-squeal compound.
Est. Cost: $200 - $500Fuel Injector Cracking (Recall)
The 1.5L EcoBoost engine fuel injectors can develop cracks, causing fuel to leak near hot engine components. This creates a serious fire risk, especially after extended driving. Ford recalled affected Bronco Sport and Escape models.
Ford issued recall 22S73 to inspect and replace the fuel injectors. Contact your dealer to check your VIN immediately. Do not drive the vehicle if you smell gasoline. The repair is free of charge.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallRear Suspension Bolt Detachment
Some 2021-2022 Bronco Sport vehicles were built with missing or loose rear suspension bolts. If the bolts fail completely, the rear suspension system can partially detach, causing loss of vehicle control.
Ford issued a recall to inspect and tighten or replace the rear suspension bolts. Contact your dealer to verify your VIN. If you notice unusual clunking from the rear or unstable handling, stop driving and have the vehicle towed to the dealer.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallInfotainment Screen Blackouts and Unit Switching
The SYNC 3 infotainment screen goes black intermittently while driving, and the odometer/speedometer display randomly switches between miles and kilometers. Some owners required complete replacement of the APIM, driver info screen, and gateway module.
Start with a SYNC master reset and check for software updates. Ford has released firmware patches for the APIM module. If the screen continues to go black or the unit switching persists, the APIM and potentially the instrument cluster module need replacement under warranty.
Est. Cost: $0 for software update; $600 - $1,500 for APIM/cluster replacement
