What Ford vehicles are on recall right now?

I can’t pull live recall data in this chat, but you can see the current list of Ford models under recall by checking official sources such as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Ford’s own recall portal. Use VIN-based checks for precision and sign up for recall notifications so you’re alerted if something affects your vehicle.


What follows explains how recall data is published, what kinds of models are typically involved, and how to verify whether a specific vehicle is affected. It also shows you exactly which steps to take to get the remedy free of charge from Ford.


Where to look for current recalls


The most reliable way to confirm which Ford vehicles are currently recalled is to consult government and manufacturer resources that publish official notice and remedy information. The steps below guide you to up-to-date listings and how to verify your vehicle.


Before you start, you should gather your Ford vehicle’s identification information (VIN) or at least the model year, model name, and trim to ensure you’re matching the right recalls.



  • Visit the NHTSA recall page (nhtsa.gov/recalls) and search by make (Ford), model, year, or by VIN to see active campaigns that include your vehicle.

  • Use Ford’s official recall/owner portal to check recalls by VIN, view recall notices, and schedule service if your vehicle is affected.

  • Consider enrolling for recall notifications from NHTSA or Ford so you receive alerts when new campaigns are announced that may involve your vehicle.

  • Contact Ford customer service or your local dealer if you have trouble locating a recall or if you believe your vehicle is affected but is not listed in the recall database.


Routinely checking these sources ensures you have the most current information, since recalls can be issued or updated at any time.


What information is included in a recall notice


Once you locate a recall for your Ford vehicle, the notice will typically include details you need to determine the impact and the next steps. The following list outlines what you should expect to see and how to interpret it.


Before reviewing the items below, keep in mind that recall remedies are free of charge and the process is designed to be straightforward for owners.



  • The official campaign or recall number that identifies the specific safety action

  • Affected Ford models and model years, and sometimes VIN ranges

  • A description of the defect or issue and potential risks to safety or vehicle function

  • The recommended remedy, such as a repair, replacement, or software update

  • Instructions for how to get the remedy performed, including scheduling with a dealer

  • Information about warranty coverage or service timelines, and contact details for support


If you do not see your exact VIN listed but you have symptoms that could be related to a recall, contact your dealer or Ford customer service for guidance. They can confirm eligibility or provide additional steps.


Summary


Current recall information for Ford vehicles changes as new campaigns are opened or closed. The best practice is to check official sources—NHTSA and Ford’s recall portal—using your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is affected and to arrange a free remedy. Staying informed helps ensure the safest possible operation of your Ford and can prevent issues before they become serious.
