2024 Ford Bronco

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Bronco.

The 2024 Ford Bronco enters its reference cycle as a modern continuation of Ford's storied off-road nameplate, and early owner feedback places it in a transitional reliability window. Across 69 total owner complaints filed so far, the dominant issue category registers as "Unknown Or Other," while 15 recalls have been issued—a notable volume for a single model year. Within the broader complaint record spanning 1990 through 2024, this year's count sits well below the 2022 peak of 345 complaints, suggesting early-generation teething problems have begun to settle, though the recall figure indicates active regulatory attention remains.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Ford Bronco logged 69 federal complaints, focusing on "Unknown Or Other" (11), Structure (8), Service Brakes (5), and Exterior Lighting (4), though the data does not specify the root causes of these issues. Within the current generation's trajectory, complaint volumes peaked at 345 in 2022 before steadily declining to 213 in 2023 and further down to the current 69, placing 2024 at the favorable tail end of an improving arc. Technical service bulletins similarly dropped from a high of 310 in 2021 to just 123 in 2024, and investigations fell to zero, suggesting early manufacturing teething issues are largely resolving. However, the 2024 model still carries a substantial 15 recalls—down from the peak of 22 in 2022 but still notable—alongside 4 crash and 3 fire complaints. Because 2024 represents the most statistically stable year at the tail end of the generation's improvement arc, it is a good year to buy, provided you verify that all 15 recalls have been properly addressed.
