Safety Recall 21S52 - Cruise Control Module Alignment [251 Broncos affected]

[faziorf]

NHTSA API is showing Safety Recall 21S52 for Cruise Control Module Alignment.

Summary
"Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2021 Ranger and Bronco vehicles. The cruise control radar module was misaligned during production."

Consequence
"A misaligned radar module may prevent the vehicle from maintaining a safe distance from other vehicles when adaptive cruise control is active. In addition, the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system may react slowly, or not react at all, during a pre-collision assist braking event. Any of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash."

Corrective Action
"Dealers will adjust the angle of the cruise control radar module, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed February 7, 2022. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 21S52."

So, impacting about half of all production?

 

[Tdifonzo]

Why are they waiting 2+ months to send out notification letters? Seems sketchy.

Reaffirms my preference for base spec vehicles.

“Christmas break”

New employee(s) on the line those days.

Whew! Dodged that one, too. 7/23. Of course, still don't know why I don't have it, or any info about it, for 5 months now....

At least it’s just an quick dealer fix as opposed to having to wait on a part.

If you're not first, you're last!

Unless you were fortunate to get one of the first build dates for your Bronco. Then if you were first, you're forever last.

Dirt Mountain.........................
New MIC top needed..............
Recalls.................................




You all should call yourselves the Guinea Pig Gang.

Geesh, my blend was July 13th.

Let's see if this effects me...

I wonder if the demo(s) that become available in January and February will already be fixed or will the new owner have to wait to be notified of the recall via snail mail.

because it takes time to determine the actual issue and remedy. Also ... not all Broncos are affected and thus they have to determine which date range/VINs needs to be recalled.

Feb, March, April Builds?

From what I understand that only affects broncos with adaptive cruise control , my black diamond doesn’t have that , but it’s kind of funny that the picture they show of the steering wheel doesn’t have adaptive cruise control that I can see it’s got the blank button like mine
