Recall 25SB5 : Loose Seat Frame Bolts in 2021-2023 Bronco (163k units affected)

[DamianCJK]

Updated with loose seat bolt recall info:

Ford Recall 25SB5 affects over 163,256 Ford Bronco SUVs from the 2021-2023 model years due to an issue with loose bolts in the front seat frames. If the seat frame height-adjust pivot bolt dislodges, it can increase the risk of injury in a crash.​

​

Affected vehicles​

• 2021–2023 Ford Bronco produced between September 23, 2020, and November 30, 2022.

The risk​

In affected vehicles, a front seat height-adjust pivot bolt could become loose or detach from the seat frame. In the event of a crash, a seat with a dislodged bolt may not properly restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury. Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this issue.​

​

The remedy​

Ford dealers will replace the pivot links and bolts in the front seats free of charge.​

​

Owner instructions​

• Wait for official notification:Ford began sending recall notices to owners on December 1, 2025. Additional letters will follow once the final repair is available.
  • Contact your dealer: You can contact a Ford dealer to schedule a service appointment.
  • Check your VIN: To see if your specific vehicle is included, you can enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the official Ford recall page or the NHTSA website.

Just got the camera software and bandaid for the rear shocks done. Now I look and a new recall comes around for the drivers seat pivot bolt and link.

Hmm, Low Pressure Fuel Pump Failure. Wonder what that is?? Do you have a 2.3L? I have that and swear sometimes it seems like the gas gets choked when I accelerate. I'd heard about maybe a recall but hadn't seen one come out.

Nevermind, here it is; mine was built in Jan 2023 so I guess it doesn't cover me.

Second edit: Ok, I actually commented on that thread ( ) and @Ducati1098 said the dates aren't reliable. I guess because I haven't gotten a recall notice or one shows up that I'm not affected? A little confusing.

You can always check on Fords website:

I have no idea why the build dates listed on Bronco recalls are always wrong, but they are

WTF? Just checked and I now have this recall too. I gave up on trying to get any of my recalls done, mostly because they all seem to want to say PARTS NOT AVAILABLE! I'll probably say it til I'm blue in the face, but Ford quality really sucks anymore. Never had problems like this in the past with any of my Fords.

Need to get an update from @Toccoa to see how many recalls Ford is up to on the year.

Seeing how crappy their apps are in general (login should be the worst experience, obviously), I would say that's par for the course.

Well that's funny, the vin check page is saying the rear camera is still valid even though the dealer just said they did it.

22 base just got it too. Not my daily so waiting for all to have available remedies and let some time pass then hopefully do all at once currently have this new one, rear struts, fuel pump and wiper motor software

It takes a little while for the whole claim to go through and remove the recall when done.

My bronco 2.7 had this issue. It was before the recall. I had it done at a local shop we’ve been using for years. Im hoping Ford will reimburse

Oct 2021 here, this popped for me too, right as got everything but the fuel pump cleared.

 

[AZ_Liberty]

My 2022 Base shows up as well.

 

[Area51BS]

Just got it today on my 22 BL.

 

[SlowTrak]

Im guessing this one will be for everyone. I have a 22 Wildtrak Lux and it just appeared on my app too. I use my app regularly and check recalls every week for some reason LOL...

 

[Wildsnak]

22 Wildtrak (the later half) here, just got it.

I don't know the time frame but it seems this is going to be a long time before the fuel one is fixed. I have the camera recall but not the issue. The fuel pump is the one I'm worried about.

Where can I find active recalls for my heicle? I'm looking at the FordPass app where I thought they would be listed but don't see a tile for recalls. I have a '25 Badlands SAS and I am assuming there should be some.... Thanks!

Or in the app, click the wrench on the bottom and scroll down to active recalls. Since you have a 25, there may not be any recalls available for your Bronco.
