Recall 24V683 affects 76 2024 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles for control-module software that misses low battery charge. Repair is free at any franchised Ford dealer.
Ford is recalling 76 2024 Bronco Sport vehicles because the body and power train control modules can miss a change in the 12-volt battery state of charge. An undetected low charge can disable electrical accessories such as hazard lights or cause a loss of drive power, which increases crash risk; the Ford dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The 2024 Ford Bronco Sport uses control-module software to coordinate electrical and powertrain behavior. The body control module helps manage vehicle electrical functions, and the powertrain control module manages engine and transmission commands. Together, they also read the 12-volt battery's state of charge, which is the battery's current charge level.
On these Bronco Sport vehicles, Ford says the powertrain control module was built with 2023 model-year software. That incorrect calibration keeps Ford's dealer diagnostic tool from installing the remedy software tied to recall 24V-267. Because the needed update does not load, the body and powertrain control modules can fail to detect a change in the 12-volt battery charge level.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the installed software and the way the modules read battery charge, so an owner should not expect a noise, smell, or warning light that clearly points to this defect.
Who's affected?
The same powertrain-control software is listed under both electrical-system and automatic-transmission component categories.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
A low battery charge that goes undetected can shut off electrical accessories, such as hazard lights, or lead to loss of drive power. There is no warning sign before failure, so treat power loss or accessory failure as a reason to stop safely and call a Ford dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Ford dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is included in this recall.
- Contact your nearest franchised Ford dealer and ask whether the free body control module and powertrain control module software update is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 24V683 and Ford recall 24S60 when you call.
- Bring the Ford owner letter if you received one; letters were mailed October 23, 2024.
- Drive with extra caution until the update is complete, since an undetected low 12-volt battery charge can cause loss of drive power or electrical accessories.
What happens at the repair
Once Ford opens the final dealer repair, a Ford technician updates the body control module and powertrain control module software. Parts and labor are covered under the recall. Vehicles that already had the earlier repair for this same issue still need the new software remedy. If you already paid for this same software related repair before the recall notice, ask Ford customer service or the dealer service desk about reimbursement under Ford's standard plan and bring documentation of the paid repair.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 24V683?
Recall 24V683 covers 76 2024 Ford Bronco Sport vehicles whose body control module and powertrain control module can fail to detect a change in 12-volt battery charge. A low battery that is not detected can cause loss of electrical accessories or drive power. Ford dealers update both modules for free.
What should I do if my 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Bronco Sport is included in recall 24V683. If it is, contact a franchised Ford dealer and ask for the body control module and powertrain control module software updates. Reference Ford recall number 24S60 when you call. The repair is free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair recall defects at no cost, and Ford's remedy says dealers will update the body control module and powertrain control module software free of charge. Use a franchised Ford dealer for the recall work.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is loss of electrical accessories or loss of drive power from an undetected low 12-volt battery charge. Hazard lights and other electrical accessories can stop working, and drive power loss increases crash risk. Ford's free software update is the repair path.
What if my Bronco Sport already had recall 24V-267 performed?
You still need to check this recall. Ford says vehicles in recall 24V683 that were previously recalled for the same issue under 24V-267 need the new remedy performed. Ask the Ford dealer to confirm the current recall status by VIN.
