Ford is recalling 149,449 examples of its body-on-frame Bronco because of rear shocks that can fail due to corrosion. This recall only affects Broncos with external reservoir shocks, which includes Badlands and Broncos equipped with the Sasquatch package.

If you drive these Ford SUVs or trucks, bring them to your dealer to be sure the battery is working properly, the National Highway and Transportation Safety Administration said.

Ford recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles because of concerns over battery failure issues, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

The batteries were made in China under the Camel Battery brand and were used between February 5, 2020, and Oct. 20, 2022.

(ABC 6 News) — Ford is recalling more than 270,000 Broncos and Mavericks. The company says there is a power problem that can cause the cars to stop unexpectedly or fail to start. The problem is related to a battery made by a company in China.

The problem is due to a manufacturing defect in 12-volt starter batteries used in these vehicles. To fix the problem, Ford dealerships will replace them with new absorbed glass mat (AGM) batteries, free of charge. Owners who already paid for new batteries out of pocket will be eligible for reimbursement from the automaker.

The batteries in the vehicles have internal defects that could cause them to lose power unexpectedly, or fail to start.
