Hello Bronco Family,

I got my 2021 First Edition "Birdie" back in November and I am in love!! But there is one major issue I am having. I am getting a lot of static/vibration in my speakers coming from the tailgate I believe. I love listening to music but it is so annoying. It doesn't happen all the time but most of it. Any song with a decent bass just vibrates from back there. Has anyone else had this issue? And, if so, is there an easy solution to resolve this issue? TIA :)

What speakers are in the tail gate? I didn't know they are installed in the tailgate. I have the LUX package with the arf speaker and there are no speakers in the tailgate.

Known issue with a TSB. Go here and click the link to the Technical Service Information page, enter 2021 bronco, and it’s the second TSB that comes up. Was for me anyway. If not, just keep scrolling…and it’s not in the tailgate, back right side panel in cargo area.

Sorry for the confusion. I worded that poorly. I didn't mean there were speakers in the tailgate. There is an access panel there and I was thinking it is coming from that.

Thanks Sam! I will definitely look into that! :)

For me, I found the rattle was coming from the soft op bolt access panel on the passengers side. Just taped it to verify that was the rattle. Will apply a permanent fix later. So far that seems to be the source.

Going to take Sam's advice above. Just made appt. at dealership for next week. Will post the outcome. Thanks for responding! :)
