Official summary
Some 2021-2023 Bronco Sport vehicles equipped with a 1.5L EcoBoost engine may require removal of the accessory drive belt, such as during the coolant pump removal and installation procedure. The accessory drive belt removal and installation procedure in the Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-05A, has been updated to eliminate the requirement to remove the fender splash shield and replace the front fender molding and rocker panel molding.
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.
