Ford Recall 26S30 -- Loose Front Seat Bolts in 2024-2026 Bronco

[jtgensler]

Current ETA is June 22nd

Of what year lol?

Feels like I've been waiting for one remedy after another since I bought mine.
The seat one is meh, I'll check the bolts myself.
The fuel pump one would be nice to have resolved.
Or at least for them to tell us what they're planning to do.

This year. It's waiting on software development.

Where exactly is the bolt? I don't want to leave it at the dealership for a week for them to do 2 minutes of work.

Ford Recalls 179,000-Plus Broncos, Rangers for Front-Seat Issue

Ford’s latest recall affects some 179,700 examples of its Ranger pickup truck and Bronco SUV and involves an issue with the front seats.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2024-26 Rangers and Broncos. The seat frame height-adjust pivot bolt may be loose or dislodged and may not properly restrain an occupant in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

To resolve the issue, dealers will inspect and replace the pivot links and bolts, as necessary, for free. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed May 11; additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, which Ford expects will be in July. Those with further questions can contact the automaker at 866-436-7332 (Ford’s number for this recall is 26S30), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.

Seems the Bronco can't buy a break this year ....

This is not a new issue.

Doesn't include my VIN, so I just heard about it. Hope you are similarly not affected

Glad that a fuel pump resolution is getting closer. I was offered a service appt on Wednesday to do the seat bolt recall 25SB5 on my '22 BD. Hope they let me watch. I am curious as I did find a loose (or spare) bolt last summer on the floor behind the driver's seat.

This! Can someone post the repair procedure?

I hope at least half of these recalls are just rare issues and they are covering their butts in case of frivolous/gov laswsuits.

Good grief....do they ever stop???

Anecdotally, (and knock on wood), I’ve yet to experience any issue of the recalls on my Bronco. I think there have been five. This seat bolt one didn’t checked correctly, so I guess it still could need a fix.

Also, luckily for me, I haven’t had any bad ones like the valve issue or (I guess there’s a) fuel pump one.

So, .... diagram shows a power adjustable seat, but since my VIN is included, I *assume* manually adjusted seats are equally at risk?

Yes. It will look similar though, so the seat type doesn’t matter
