a hood scoop sold as an official Ford accessory may detach from the hood... and they didn't engineer for the amount of force the real world dishes out


 1200 of the 2021-2024 Ford Bronco Sport models equipped with the accessory hood scoop sold under part number VM1PZ-16C630-A and produced between November 12th, 2020, and February 21st, 2024 are part of the recall which only reimburses customers for the purchase price of the hood scoop.

How that's going to make someone satisfied, when they can't remove the scoop without fixing the mounting holes, I don't know. It should have been a replacement hood instead, and leave it to the Bronco owners to decide whether they'll chance their hood flying off and damaging the windshield and roof, and possibly other vehicles in traffic behind them, or, have a new replacement hood installed and the hood with a mounted scoop traded in.
