Quick answer

Some 2022 Broncos equipped with a 2.3L engine and built on 01-Apr-2022 and through 08-Apr-2022 may exhibit a charging system fault message displayed in the IPC and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) U012D, U0284 and/or U0285 stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). This may be due to a poor electrical connection at connector C1104B, pin 1 (circuit VE181) located at the generator. To correct this condition, replace connector C1104B with a service pigtail replacement service part number: LU2Z-14S411-ACA.

What this bulletin may mean before buying

Treat this as service research, not a verdict on one car. Before you buy, compare this communication with official recall campaigns, model-level owner complaint patterns, and the exact vehicle’s VIN-decoded specifications. A bulletin can help you ask a seller or dealer sharper questions about software updates, known repairs, warranty extensions and service history.
