2025 Ford Bronco

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Bronco.

The 2025 Ford Bronco enters the reference cycle with 44 total owner complaints predominantly categorized under "Unknown or Other," alongside a substantial 18 active recalls. Contextualized within the nameplate's broader complaint history spanning 1990 to 2024, this model year's early figures sit far below the 2022 peak of 345 complaints, suggesting a potential improvement in initial owner satisfaction. However, the elevated recall count tempers that outlook, meaning that while the 2025 Bronco currently avoids the severe complaint volumes of recent years, underlying safety and quality issues remain a critical factor for researchers tracking the vehicle's long-term reliability trajectory.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 200,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 200,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Based on the federal record, the 2025 Bronco appears to be the most refined model of the current generation. Complaints dropped sharply from a peak of 345 in 2022 to just 69 in 2024, and the 2025 model shows only 17 complaints across its top areas—a fraction of earlier years—along with 4 crash-related and 2 fire-related complaints. Recalls also trended downward from 22 in 2022 to 15 in 2024, though no recall data is available for 2025 itself. This places the 2025 at the tail end of a clear improvement arc, suggesting Ford has addressed many early-production issues. While the data doesn't specify root causes, the steep decline in complaints and recalls across the generation makes the 2025 a strong candidate for a used purchase—provided you verify that all outstanding recalls on the specific vehicle have been completed.
