What are Fords newest recalls?
Ford is issuing recalls across several current-model-year vehicles. The latest notices can affect SUVs, trucks, and passenger cars, with free dealer repairs. For the precise vehicles and VINs, consult official databases from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Ford's own recall pages.
How to check if your Ford is recalled
To verify recall status quickly, you can search by your vehicle identification number (VIN) or by model and year using official sources.
- Use NHTSA's recall database: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see current safety recalls affecting your exact vehicle.
- Use Ford's Start My Recall tool: enter your VIN on ford.com/recalls to view Ford-specific recalls and remedies.
- Sign up for recall alerts: enroll in recall notifications from NHTSA or Ford to receive updates by email or text.
Checking these official sources will tell you whether your particular vehicle is involved, the nature of the defect, and the recommended remedy.
What to do if you are affected
If your vehicle is recalled, Ford and its dealers will perform the necessary repairs at no cost to you. Follow these steps to stay ahead of safety risks and ensure a smooth process.
- Schedule the repair promptly with a Ford dealer or authorized service provider once you receive a recall notice or confirm the recall online.
- Do not ignore the notice. Some recalls involve critical safety systems and may require you to stop driving the vehicle until repaired; follow guidance from Ford and the dealer.
- Bring the recall notice letter (if you have it) and your VIN to the appointment so the technician can pull up the correct service campaign and parts.
- Ask about temporary transportation options if the fix will take longer than a few hours; some recalls may provide rentals or courtesy transportation.
- After the repair, keep all documentation and recheck for any further recall updates or service campaigns related to your vehicle.
Adhering to these steps helps ensure your Ford is repaired safely and that your records reflect the completed remedy.

- Regulatory oversight: Agencies like NHTSA monitor safety concerns and determine the need for recalls.
- Collaborative remediation: Ford coordinates with dealers to supply replacement parts, software updates, or design changes.
- Ongoing improvement: The company reviews manufacturing processes and testing protocols to reduce future risks and launches follow-up campaigns when necessary.
These efforts aim to restore safety and confidence for Ford owners while maintaining transparency about ongoing campaigns.
