STOP delivery on some Broncos due to 10-speed auto transmission recall (build dates: 11/14/22 - 01/12/23) -- loose bolt / park pawl issue

That isn't your build date. Maybe the build date of the windshield, but not the vehicle.
That QR code is 23 days off of my build date lol

Oh boy, how do I find my actual build date?

Enter your VIN in there. If the recall doesn't show up, you should be fine.

@AllthePonies is correct. If you enter your VIN into the NHTSA website it will tell you if you are one of the 944.
I have a VIN that is affected and it DID show up in there.

Ok, thanks for the info. and I'm sorry to hear that. I got lucky.

lol oh, it's not mine luckily, just one at my dealership. Glad you aren't affected though!

So here is the question...since this is recall "out" will a VIN check correctly tell someone if the vehicle is impacted by the recall issue?

Yep

Go here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls

and punch your VIN in.

Just to add if you review all of the papers filed, only 195 Bronco's are affected.

195 Ford Bronco vehicles are affected

Yep

Ok...says I am good. Time will tell if the new Bronco rolls away...

Here is a description of what actually happened. Stuff happens, we are all human.

During a quality assurance review at the transmission plant, certain transmissions were flagged for review, which included a re-assembly of the transmission. The transmission plant personnel performing the quality assurance review did not account for all bolts during assembly processes and inadvertently dropped or otherwise left a bolt loose inside the transmission.

Yeah, stuff happens is right. But this is why vehicles come with warranties and why recalls exist fortunately. Not everything can be perfect every time

At least it is only 195 of all the Broncos built during that time frame. Sucks for those affected but the sky isn't falling. Based on what happened, best case would be the bolt is found loose in the pan.

Luckily I was able to pick mine up today, dealer didn't say anything about this nor did I bring it up. Going to the NHTSA link doesn't show any recalls for me, so hopefully I dodged the bullet.

Looks like I won the lottery!!!

So both websites say ours has no recalls......finger's crossed that is correct.

Ditto. Mine was built within the date window but the VIN doesn't show anything on either site.
