NHTSA complaint #11767452

Owner complaint summary

My 2023 Ford Bronco is experiencing cracking and delamination on its Molded-in-Color (MIC) hardtop roof. [ADD A SENTENCE HERE DESCRIBING YOUR SPECIFIC DAMAGE, E.G., The cracks are visible on the exterior corners / The roof is beginning to leak water into the cabin].This structural failure matches the exact defect described in Ford's May 2026 recall for 2021–2022 models. Ford has excluded the 2023 model year from the recall, claiming a manufacturing change fixed the issue, but the root material defect and the resulting safety risks—potential roof panel structural failure, pieces detaching at highway speeds, or water intrusion damaging electrical components—are identical. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate and force Ford to expand the recall parameters to include 2023 models.
