Recall 26S55: 2021-2026 Bronco - Engine Compartment Wiring Harness Repair [July 23, 2026] -- 590,000k units affected

[HalfmuleFarmer]

My thoughts are this if you park it inside and you have loved ones sleeping sound at night and then it goes up and takes everyone with it. It's called Murphys law and all these people here citing how it's not a big deal well I'm guessing noone lives with you or you don't park your vehicles in a attached garage. Houses are flamable but not really sure that needs to be stated but I don't know maybe it does lol

Maybe someone with Bronco electrical system expertise can chime in about how likely it is that a parked, shut off vehicle can throw a spark from a wiring harness that starts an engine compartment fire. I might be a wild man, but I’m going with highly unlikely.

While i am certainly no fan of the lying ai,
This has to make you all wonder a bit about the level of caution you're undertaking.

Do we know if the wires are hot a d unfused when the bronco isn't running?

We have a neighbor a bit away from us who's truck battery was dead most of time and she had no money for repairs.
We bought her a battery tender and hooked it up for her.
She's not the brightest knife in the tree so We used puffpaint(marvelous stuff) to clearly mark color to color hookups and we built a little weatherproof cubby for the charger when it wasn't hooked to the truck.
Two days later...dead battery.
She read the cautions on the instruction brochure and said she was too scared to hook it back up once she had used the truck.

I put eyeballs on mine for all the areas that are outlined in the Ford docs provided in this thread. Nothing had any wire chafing or damage, so I have no reservations about driving it, or parking it in the garage. IMO if you're worried about it, take the 30 minutes and go inspect everything.

There was already a documented fire on this very forum of a braptor that did just that and burnt the guys garage down so yeah possibly

And I would not say I'm so worried but alot of comments on here saying basically forget about it which is kinda insane

Sanity is based on group('alot') decisions concerning norms.

A true sign is the collective not being able to explain insanity to the insane.

Id also like to add I'm not saying go bat shit crazy and wear tinfoil hats but caution could be better approach. I may also be biased as this not a problem recall does effect my raptor which the dealer confirmed had the issue areas which yes you could go look but I'm getting this documented so if it burns atleast I had the dealer "fix it".

My daughter has a friend whose Jeep went up in flames just sitting. Known issue, it turns out.

I'm not trying to be mean.
I guess I'm trying to let folks know there's a 15:565,000 chance of any damage anywhere outside of the vehicle hood area.
In those chances is the five year history as proof of those chances, there is no speculation or computer model.
Just reality.

I say this because I'd hate for someone who lives on the cusp of reality to be in fear and make some rash decision like having their bronco crushed.
I just want to allay any fears yhe fearful might have.
Worry spreads, sometimes to irrational or bad decisions.

Here is a targeted list of things in life and science that carry roughly 1:38,000(15:565,000) chance of happening:

Dog Attacks (Lifetime Fatality Odds): According to the National Safety Council lifetime injury data, the odds of a person dying from being killed by a dog.


An asteroid impacting Earth in the 2080s: NASA calculations for the newly monitored asteroid 2022 RD2 place its specific odds of hitting Earth by the year 2083 at approximately 1 in 38,000.

A hockey player scoring 5 different ways in one game: Given a 5-goal game, the exact probability that a player scores at even strength, power play, short-handed, empty-net, and via a penalty shot is roughly 1 in 38,000.

Not stating anyone should crush there bronco lol! I still love my braptor and plan on keeping it for a long time. I just prefer to have all i's dotted and t's crossed. I was not setting out to start a arguement on any level I just think it is an issue.
