2022 FORD BRONCO — Complaint #2172571
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL filed February 2, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2172571 (ODI reference 11715107) concerns a 2022 FORD BRONCO and was filed on February 2, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 8, 2025. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:electrical, 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 equipment:electrical 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.
