Ford Recalls 330 Model Year 2026 Broncos Over a Wiper Arm That Could Detach: Owner Notification Begins November 16, NHTSA Report Says
Ford has issued a new recall for 330 examples of the 2026 Bronco after finding that the wiper arm on the driver side has a flaw that may cause it to detach, according to a recall report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Ford first discovered a potential problem at its Michigan plant in September, when it became aware of a low residual torque reading for the nut securing the driver side windshield wiper arm. The recall affects vehicles manufactured over two days, between September 21 and 22, 2026.
If the driver side wiper arm slips on the pivot shaft or detaches, the driver may experience partial or complete loss of driver side wiper function, which can reduce visibility when the wipers are needed and increase the risk of a crash, the report said. The remedy is set: dealers will inspect and tighten the wiper arm nut and replace the wiper arm if needed, free of charge.
Ford says owner notification letters will be mailed on November 16, 2026. Ford's recall number is 26S82 and the NHTSA campaign number is 26V725000; Ford customer service is 1-866-436-7332. Vehicle identification number searches have been live since November 6, and 2026 Bronco owners can check on the NHTSA site whether the recall applies. The recall is unrelated to an earlier 2026 wiper recall covering more than 400,000 Ford sport utility vehicles and trucks.
