Ford Bronco Owners Face Warranty Denial Due to Trail Turn Assist and Broken Axle Welds

Two Ford Bronco owners claim that their dealers denied warranty coverage on broken axle welds after using the off-road-focused Trail Turn Assist feature. The feature reduces the turning radius of the Bronco by applying the brakes to the inside rear wheel in low-speed, high steering angle maneuvers. Ford's documentation warns against using the feature on dry, hard surfaces and with aftermarket suspension mods. While it's unclear if Trail Turn Assist caused the broken welds, the owners' claims raise questions about the Bronco's off-road capabilities and warranty coverage.
