Haven’t seen this TSB posted before but several owners have posted their DRLs stay on for up to 10 minutes so if this TSB applies to your vehicle the issue might be as shown:

TSB 23-2267
NHTSA Item Number: 10241544
Date Added: 09-01-2023

Summary: Some 2021-2023 bronco sport vehicles built on or before 01-nov-2022 equipped with light emitting diode (led) control module (a2c7636130500 printed onto the module label) may exhibit a condition where the daytime running lamps (drls) stay on for up to 10 minutes after the vehicle is turned off and/or daytime running lamps momentarily dim to park intensity when the turn signal lamp is cancelled before returning to full drl intensity.

This may be due to the software in the led control module. To correct this condition, follow the service procedure to replace both led control modules and update the configuration of the body control module (bcm).

The full TSB 23-2267 description is posted at this link (for 2021-2023 Bronco Sport):

Thank you for posting this link although I have 3 concerns. (one) when I clicked the link, the site already knew my VIN (creepy to say the least), (two) is this a recall type notification that Ford is picking up the tab? (three) why is this the first we are hearing about this???

1. The link is the Ford website which you had previously visited and entered in your VIN since your VIN was cached. It’s just how websites work so not that creepy. (For whatever browser you use it’s a good idea to periodically clear out all data remembered by the browser and the website when possible)

2. Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs) if applicable to a vehicle and would fix a problem exhibited by the vehicle most likely will be no cost to the owner if the vehicle is still within the factory warranty. Check with your dealership if a specific TSB is covered by other warranties (e.g. powertrain warranty, Ford ESP extended warranty, etc.)

3. You can ask your dealership to look up all TSBs applicable to your vehicle. Another way is to use the Ford website I posted (https://www.ford.com/support/service-information/); after accepting the Terms you can enter your VIN or just the model year and make (Bronco Sport). Keep in mind you may see TSBs listed that are not applicable to your specific vehicle so you would need to discuss with your dealership if a specific TSB applies.

Bottom line, it is the vehicle owners responsibility to look up applicable TSBs if TSBs are of material interest to the owner.
