2022 FORD BRONCO — Complaint #2140116

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE filed October 15, 2025

NHTSA complaint #2140116 (ODI reference 11693658) concerns a 2022 FORD BRONCO and was filed on October 15, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 7, 2025. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD BRONCO cohort independently describe similar engine failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2022 FORD BRONCO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

I purchased this vehicle in May this year and in July the manufacturer issued a safety recall notice. The manufacturer mentions in the recall that the engine may fail and can lead to crashes. I am unbale to use the vehicle for business, since I received the notice and it is causing me a lot to the verge of collapsing my business. I would like the manufacturer to look into this and issue a remedy as quickly as possible as the financial strain on my business is enormous. Thank you!
