Ford Recalls over 565,000 Vehicles. See the Affected Models
Ford Motor Company is recalling over 565,000 cars due to an increased risk of a fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The issue stems from the wiring harness found in the engine. The harness could “become damaged and short circuit,” according to the recall notice posted on the NHTSA’s website.
The damage could come from movement that occurs between the wiring harness in the engine compartment and surrounding parts, the safety recall report stated. Lack of protection from abrasion could expose wires, increasing the risk of a short circuit.
Here’s what to know about the models included in the recall and what car owners should do.
Which Models Are Included in the Ford Recall?
Ford is recalling 565,691 vehicles, which include the following models:
There were 15 reports filed between Oct. 15, 2024, and June 20, 2026, in which Ford has evidence of a fire originating from the engine compartment wiring harness, per the report. Seven of the fires were reported in Bronco Raptors, while eight were reported in base model Bronco vehicles.
No injuries related to the issue have been reported, according to the report.
What You Should Do if You Own a Recalled Vehicle
Owners will begin to be sent letters notifying them about the recall on Aug. 24, per the administration.
To remedy the issue, owners can take their vehicle to Ford dealerships, where sheathing will be installed over the wiring free of charge.
