What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationSome 2025-2026 Bronco vehicles may exhibit various cruise control, pre-collision and/or front stabilizer bar disconnect related warning messages displayed in the instrument panel cluster (IPC) with diagnostic trouble code (DTC) U0418:86 stored in the image processing module A (IPMA) and no wheel speed sensor specific DTCs present in the anti-lock brake (ABS) module. DTC U0415:00 may also be stored in the CHCM. If a vehicle exhibits this condition, carefully inspect the rear wheel speed sensors for correct installation with the rear wheel speed sensor body seated flush against the axle housing. Repair or replace the affected rear wheel speed sensor as needed, clear the DTC, and retest. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 206-09. If the condition persists, advise the customer that Engineering is working on a software robustness solution that is expected to be available Q2 2026. <br /><br /> This condition does not affect vehicle durability, and additional diagnosis or service is not recommended at this time. Replacement or reprogramming of the IPMA and/or ABS modules will not resolve this condition.
