Completely different engine than the bronco has.
Considering the Bronco doesn't use a timing belt, I'd say it's pretty irrelevant.
Even for the oil pump belt issues on the 1.0 ecoboosts, the belt wasn't the cause of the failures, it was a faulty tensioner design.
We've seen one bronco oil pump...
Yeah I'm not sure. Honestly after looking at mine, yours looks completely normal.
My camera seems to be pointed down a lot more to be honest, but even I can see the bottom of my spare tire and mine has never been touched 🤷‍♂️
You’re just assuming they did absolutely nothing and then claimed it was fixed. Which I doubt is what happened.
I don’t think anyone would claim they fixed something after doing nothing, they would simply say they weren’t able to duplicate it.
They likely did or found something they thought was...
I had one of the FP covers that rusted out. Contacted them and they sent another right away. Plus I got to keep the old one. So if for some reason it happens again, I’ll sand blast it and powder coat the 1st one myself 🤷‍♂️
Never had any issues with the brake lines or supplied bolts.
Factory...
Not something I’ve seen personally. But I can try and look into it.
Mine still has the original camera and I also have 0 offset wheels. So I can get a picture of what mine looks like in the morning.
@mbelding816 post a picture of the back of your Bronco/spare tire area.. and then also a close...
It only affected regular broncos with a build date up to 12/2025 and bronco raptors up to 6/2026. Meaning all built since then are unaffected.
Build dates are regularly pushed back for a large number of other reasons, but I doubt it’s because of this specific recall.

The airbags aren’t any different nor were they redesigned. The handles do not get in the way of the airbags. They were designed around the airbags that were already there.
Yeah the stud is not available separately.
I deal with broken studs like this all the time at work. The easiest way to remove it IMO is getting it very hot with a torch, then using an air hammer with a pointy bit to push it out. They’re usually stuck in there pretty good.
