Official summary

Some 2021-2024 Bronco vehicles may exhibit paint wearing along on the top inner edge of the tailgate where the rear window weather strip contacts the tailgate. This may be due to the accumulation of dirt between the rear window seal and tailgate. Inform customers that engineering is aware of this condition and is currently working on a solution which is expected in Q3 2024. Schedule a service visit for customers when the repair is available in Q3 2024. Monitor OASIS for additional information.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
