Why recalls happen and how they’re fixed
Recalls are issued when a safety-related defect or noncompliance with federal safety standards is identified. Ford and the NHTSA outline the required remedy, which may include repairs, part replacements, or software updates. Most recalls are resolved through a dealer visit, and the process commonly involves scheduling, drive-in service, or a temporary vehicle replacement if needed.
The status of recalls can change over time as investigations progress, parts become available, or campaigns are expanded. Always verify your specific vehicle’s status using your VIN and current model-year information from official sources.

If a recall is listed, contact an authorized dealer to arrange the free repair and obtain documentation of the work performed. Remember that recall information is updated regularly, so re-check periodically to stay informed.
