Symptoms
Chafed or melted insulation on the harness in the engine bay, intermittent electrical faults, or a burning smell.
The fix, step by step
- Recall 26V-468 covers 2021–26 Broncos and Bronco Raptors whose engine-compartment harness can be damaged and short-circuit; dealers add protective sheathing.
- Ford phased the campaign: 2026 Raptors first, then 2021–25 Raptors, then all other Broncos from about September 2026.
- Until it's done, look along the harness for chafe points and keep added wiring for lights and accessories well clear of it.
Tools & part numbers
- Flashlight
- split loom and zip ties for your own accessory wiring.
