What owners wrote

“Ford has an active recall for failed rear shock absorbers. My bronco was inspected at the Ford dealership, the tech indicated the shock absorbers failed inspection and needed a recall. A picture was sent to Ford, Ford declined the recall stating the rust was not corrosion. Therefore, my bronco did not receive the recall. Recall number is.25V025.”

“The front shocks are leaking and not operating properly. This is a similar known issue with the rear shocks. This is a similar part on the front and Ford is not acknowledging the issue. Loss of vehicle control could occur if they continue to leak and degrade in performance.”

“The vehicle is a 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands 2 door. It is under NHTSA recall 25V025, with no fix expected until later this year. The ride quality is bouncy, with some wobbling when going over bumps. Ford claims the vehicle is still okay to drive; however i am not comfortable with having to deal with the ride quality for the next several months”
