2024 FORD RANGER Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2024 Ford Ranger has 15 recalls, the most serious being a front upper control arm that can detach from the steering knuckle and cause a complete loss of steering control. Several recalls involve fire risk. Fuel vapor lines on certain trucks can be damaged by contact with a nearby bracket, allowing fuel vapor to escape near potential ignition sources. A separate issue involves the high-pressure fuel pump, where loose mounting bolts can cause a fuel leak with the same fire risk. Sun visor and headliner wiring harnesses that are improperly routed or taped can develop shorts and start a fire in the A-pillar area. The engine block heater, when plugged in, can crack and leak coolant onto its own electrical connections, creating another short circuit and fire risk. On the occupant safety side, side curtain airbags can tear against the B-pillar reinforcement during deployment and fail to fully inflate, reducing ejection protection in a crash. Front seat frame bolts can loosen or fall out, leaving the seat unable to properly restrain an occupant. There is also a power window issue where the global close feature can fail to detect an obstruction and reverse, pinching a hand or arm in the closing window. Prior repair attempts for that window defect did not fully resolve the issue on some vehicles, prompting a follow-up recall.
