I’ve this happen a few times and not just on the Bronco. At least it hasn’t happened enough to bother me (yet).

It's quite frustrating, but I'm hesitant to bring it to the dealership until there's a solid solution provided by HQ.
The solution has been provided by Ford Special Service Message (SSM) 53238 issued December 17, 2024. Refer to post #28 in this thread.

Just tell the service writer at your dealership about it.

This is the “fix” they did on mine before the SSM came out- helped a little but didn’t fix.

My Raptor does it also.
It has put me into the classic stereotype of the old man in the left lane with his signal on; on too many occasions.
But, my Raptor is training me, I look for it Now.
Yes, you can teach an old dog new tricks.

This isn't quite right, maybe? The problem isn't momentary or brief. Once it switches itself over, the left signal continues until deselected. That bulletin seems to describe something slightly different.

It’s the same thing. Whether it does a momentary blink, or gets stuck the opposite way, the cause is the same.

The thing that, no pun intended, grinds my gears is that it varies in severity.

I've gone through weeks with it vanishing entirely to then see it return and do it continuously.

I was going through the same near audition like thought process of wondering how I can explain it to the dealership, and as such trying to figure out the best way to get it to happen...

Full right lock at a slow speed followers by the wheel returning to middle bwhile accelerating seems to cause it the most reliably, but as I said... It can just up and vanish for a time, so I do wonder why that might be, and if there's a remedy hidden in that reason.

The weather has warmed up here when it went away for its longest time.

@Ducati1098 If you have a moment, would you mind confirming the replacement part number(s) for this SSM? I see 13K359, but that feels like only a partial part number. I have had a less than desirable experience trying to get this repaired at the dealer, and as long as it's not ridiculously expensive I am considering just fixit it myself out of pocket.

Yes, 13K359 is just the base part number.
The most current part number is R2DZ-13K359-AA
Part number varies depending on VIN

Sorry, ignore that. I assumed all the switches were the same on the Bronco's so I just used my VIN.
But after double checking it looks like they aren't. So PM me your VIN and I can double check that number is correct.

MSRP is ~$93, but I'm sure you can find it cheaper online.
Really appreciate it! Right now looks like ~$54 from an online ford dealer. For this price, it's not worth the brain damage of trying to get this repaired through the dealer. Thank you!

Mine did this, had the dealer check on it while it was in for service. They replaced the turn signal stalk under warranty, however it still does it on tight right turns. I just live with it, doesn't really bother me.
