Bronco Sport recall: Rear suspension may not be fully secured to subframe (1,666 vehicles affected)

[Ponyrider]

The Ford website is a spinning blue circle of infinity for me in the recall search option this morning.

Are we relying on the USPS to deliver the confirmation on affected vehicles via paper mail ?
If only in 2021 there was another option...
It would be great if Ford "pushed" this information to owners via the FordPass App.

"...with loose or missing bolts..."

An incorrect torque setting is one thing, but missing bolts in the suspension assembly is an entirely different level of negligence.

Fortunately mine shows a 12/20/20 build date on the door sticker so hopefully it's outside of the affected window. Hopefully...as the blue circle of infinity spins...

I just got a recall notice for my OB. For a front lower control arms inspection. Where did I get it from? A carfax car care email. Nothing yet from Ford. My dealer is aware and it gets checked out Monday. There has to be a better way.

This process does not recognize my VIN#.

Which was also an issue with the bank servicing the loan.

Safety recall for 1,666 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles

Affected 2021 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles were produced with rear suspension modules that may not be fully secured to the subframe. Rear suspension modules with loose or missing bolts may affect the vehicle’s stability, increasing risk of an accident, and may result in reduced rear impact crash performance, increasing the risk of injury.

This action affects 1,640 vehicles in the U.S. and federal territories, 24 in Canada and two in Mexico.

Ford is not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this condition.

Affected vehicles were built in Mexico at Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly Plant from July 22 to Nov. 24, 2020.

Dealers will confirm that the rear suspension bolts are secured properly and replace them, if necessary. The Ford reference number for this recall is 21S04.

During the install of my RC lift kit for my 21 BB, EVERYTHING had a 1/4 turn to be torqued to spec
