On the 2025 Ford Bronco, ford's 26S10 safety recall includes certain 2025 Broncos. The problem is the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve, which may fail and cause the Bronco to lose drive power unexpectedly. NHTSA's stated consequence is an increased risk of a crash — worth taking seriously given where these trucks get driven and the fact that the loss of power comes without warning. The recall covers 47,804 vehicles campaign-wide across multiple 2025 Ford and Lincoln models, so that number should not be read as a Bronco-only total.

This issue also affects: Ford E-Series, Ford Escape, Ford F-350

Common Symptoms

  • Unexpected loss of drive power while driving

How to Fix

The fix is a free EGR valve replacement performed by a Ford dealer under recall 26S10. Owner notification letters were mailed July 31, 2026, and affected VINs have been listed on NHTSA.gov since March 4, 2026 — run your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Bronco is included and book the free repair.
