Component / system

Defect

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2026 Ranger and Bronco vehicles. The vehicle specifications listed on the tire placard and safety certification labels may be incorrect, including the VIN, capacity weight, seating capacity, front and rear gross axle weight rating (GAWR), tire and rim dimensions, and recommended cold tire pressure. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims" and 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."

Risk / consequence

The incorrect tire size, tire pressures, and GAWR listed on the labels can allow the vehicle to be overloaded or have improperly inflated tires, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and if necessary, replace the certification and TREAD labels, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 3, 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26C24. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on May 28, 2026.

Chronology of events

1. Mar 24, 2026

   On March 24, 2026, the transport carrier notified Michigan Assembly Plant of a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) label mismatch concern on a 2026 model year (MY) Ford Bronco, identified prior to rail shipment of the vehicle. The VIN located on the interior dash beneath the driver’s side windshield did not match the VIN on the certification or TREAD label located on the driver’s side B-pillar.

2. Mar 26, 2026

   On March 26, 2026, Ford’s Critical Concern Review Group (CCRG) opened an investigation regarding potential mismatch between the VIN on the vehicle certification and TREAD labels and the dash VIN for certain 2026 MY Ford Ranger and Bronco vehicles. Due to an invoicing packet error resulting in an offline repair process at Michigan Assembly Plant, 268 vehicles may have shipped with potentially incorrect certification and TREAD labels. The CCRG reviewed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 110, Tire selection and rims and motor home/recreation vehicle trailer load carrying capacity information for motor vehicles with a GVWR of 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) or less, specifically Section S4.3, which specifies placard requirements. The team also reviewed 49 CFR Part 567 Certification, specifically the label requirements in Part 567.4. The CCRG determined that the 268 vehicles with potentially incorrect certification and TREAD labels may not meet the requirements set forth in FMVSS No. 110 and 49 CFR Part 567. If a customer were to receive a vehicle manufactured with incorrect certification and/or TREAD labels specific to their VIN, the vehicle may not be compliant to one or more of the above sections. As of May 19, 2026, Ford is not aware of any warranty, field or customer reports potentially related to this concern.

3. May 19, 2026

   On May 19, 2026, Ford’s Field Review Committee reviewed the concern and approved a field action. Ford is not aware of any reports of accident or injury related to this condition.
