Sounds like a metal engine fan hitting a metal fan shroud

[nickek]

Driving my 2024 full size Bronco Heritage (1,500 miles) on sand dunes in 4 wheel High Sand GOAT mode turn sharp right creates a noise that sounds like a metal fan hitting a metal fan shroud. Maybe a metal shield hitting a drive shaft? I could not see anything that would do this. In 2 wheel drive Normal GOAT; no issue.
I searched forums and did not find this issue.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.

Thanks. Working through direct messaging.

Well I think I found the noise to be expected it was the traction control doing work when in 4H. I think what happened is that I did not realize the system resets to normal GOAT mode when the engine is turned off. I would restart the engine and climb a sand dune and I would hear the noise.
