What This Recall Means

Component

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:UPPER BALL JOINT

What Happened

The upper ball joint is a crucial part of your vehicle's suspension, connecting the control arm to the steering knuckle. In some 2024 Rangers and 2024-2025 Broncos, the nut that holds it in place might not be tightened correctly.

Risk if Unfixed

If the ball joint comes loose, your vehicle's steering and control could fail, making it harder to steer and increasing the risk of a serious crash.

How to Get This Fixed
