Please sweet baby Jesus let this get fixed soon.
Just a warning for any of you who have one being built or shipped, check with your dealership.

This is across the line, not just Raptor. There is a long thread in the main Bronco section.

If you have your VIN number, you can go to the following address to check and see if you are affected by any recalls. It is the government's website, based on VIN#.

I am interested in how this will affect bronco raptor prices in Q4 when they have to compete with MY24 and a boatload of produced 23s. To quote a dealer near me with one sitting on their lot "I have anchor sitting in my parking lot". It's a 73k starting price MY23, brand new, loaded out to 83k, asking 93k. Cheapest new 23 I have found yet.

If it’s such an anchor, tell them to sell it at invoice or msrp. Watch how quickly it moves. They are artificially creating the anchor.

Stink this is happening for all the Broncos. Reminds me of when the 2021 had a batch of faulty airbags (they had an extra fold lol) and a bunch of people were stuck with thier bronco at the dealer waiting for fix.

They can't sell it because of the seatbelt recall. They lowered the price from 100k to 93k the same day they seatbelt recall hit. I was one of like 10 people who called about it. They took it off their website.

I sure hope it doesn’t cause the belts to flap violently in the wind.

here you go, the clip below the latch.... All this to cause a Do Not Sell Hold Ford hates future Bronco Owners

Ill cut the damn seatbelt out to get my damn Raptor

 

[FLSTFI Dave]

Recall seams silly to me. I have never had an issue trying to put the seat belt on. None of my front seat passengers have either.
