Ford recalls: every NHTSA campaign, year by year
Ford filed 135 vehicle recall campaigns with NHTSA in 2025, more than twice its 60 of 2024, and 75 more in 2026 so far. Look up any Ford model below.
Ford is the most recalled of the 18 largest brands in NHTSA's file, with 572 vehicle campaigns received between 2016 and 2025 and 64.8 million vehicle notices. The count was steady for years, between 33 and 60 campaigns a year, then jumped to 135 in 2025. Part of that jump is volume: Ford sells pickups, SUVs, vans and commercial chassis in many configurations, and the F-Series alone splits into F-150, Super Duty and chassis cab entries. Part of it is a deliberate change: under a consent order with NHTSA announced in November 2024, Ford agreed to build new safety data analysis and VIN-level part tracking, review its past recalls and meet NHTSA every quarter, so campaigns that would once have been grouped or delayed now appear on their own. The systems recalled most often are the power train (101 campaigns since 2016), the electrical system (84) and rearview cameras (47).

Why Ford's 2025 number doubled
Two readings of the same table are possible, and both are partly right. The worrying one is quality: a high count of campaigns on new model years, especially the Bronco, Maverick and Super Duty trucks, points to problems that escaped testing. The other reading is process. NHTSA fined Ford $165 million under a 2024 consent order over the timeliness of its recall reports, and since then Ford has filed more, sooner, often for small populations. Many 2025 and 2026 campaigns cover a few hundred vehicles, or units already repaired once under an earlier campaign whose fix did not hold. For an owner the practical conclusion is the same either way: check your VIN more often than you would for another brand.
The campaign that covers the most Fords
The largest Ford campaign since 2016 is 26V104000, received on February 20, 2026, for 4.4 million vehicles: electrical system across 2026 Ford E-TRANSIT, 2022-2027 Ford EXPEDITION, 2021-2026 Ford F-150 and more. Recalls of that size are usually software or electrical, which explains why so many Ford remedies are now applied by a dealer reflash or, on recent vehicles, over the air.
Trucks first
Among models named in campaigns since 2021, the F-150 leads with 71, ahead of the Explorer (69) and the Bronco (50). The F-150 page breaks its campaigns down by model year, with crash ratings and EPA mileage, and the same is done for the Explorer and the Escape. Lincoln campaigns are filed by Ford but recorded under the Lincoln make, so they do not appear in these totals.
