2020–2024 Ford Bronco Sport and 1 other Ford model: fuel system, gasoline recall
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source, such as hot engine or exhaust components, can increase the risk of a fire.
What was reported
Source: manufacturer filing, 49 CFR Part 573Reported to NHTSA Jul 11, 2025 by Ford Motor Company.
What that means, in plain English
Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wordingA cracking fuel injector leaking fuel inside the engine compartment in the presence of hot engine/exhaust components presents a direct fire risk, and the interim notification letters explicitly warn owners of the safety risk nearly a year before the final fix is available.
Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.
Which vehicles are covered
Source: NHTSA campaign 25V467000Vehicles built Nov 19, 2018 to Feb 8, 2024 — a VIN outside that window is not part of this campaign even if the year, make and model match.

A recall applies to a build range, so year, make and model cannot settle it. Type the VIN and the WhichTrim recall report checks this campaign’s build window and engine against it.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Is 25S76 the same recall as 25V467000?
Yes. 25S76 is the number Ford Motor Company uses for this campaign in its own paperwork and in the letter it sends owners. 25V467000 is the number NHTSA files it under. One recall, two references — dealers and service departments generally quote the manufacturer's.
Does this recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.
How do I know whether my vehicle is included?
By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Nov 19, 2018 to Feb 8, 2024. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.
What if the repair is not available yet?
It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. This campaign was filed without a repair available — Ford Motor Company says so in the text above, and expected one by July 2026.
What did the manufacturer say was wrong?
The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.
Who started this recall?
NHTSA's record credits NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. NHTSA’s investigation file links this recall to recall query RQ24008. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
