I have a 22 and just noticed small cracks on the lower corners around the quarter glass. Both sides. Hard to see but if I hold a flash light in the middle of glass and than flip it forward and back you will see the small cracks. With all the issues it was just a matter of time. My vehicle has been garage kept, very disappointing.

Mine looks like this as well. I noticed them while I was washing my Bronco after a trip. At first I thought they were scratches or pin stripes from branches. I quickly realized that they couldn't be since some of them were in places that branches couldn't reach.

Now I have a noticeable raised crack. It is hard to see in the picture, but in the right light it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I bought my Bronco new in December 2025. It has less than 8k miles on it.

Me too. I just noticed it for the first time about six weeks ago, and I check fairly regularly. I was thinking I was going to escape this cracking BS. Alas, no. At least I'm in the recall batch of VINs. Be interesting to see how that matures and if it covers damage like I have, which is pretty minor at this point.
