Ford Recalls — Canada & USA – Major League Recalls

Ford has 217 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1964 through 2027. Across those models, 2,931 recall campaigns are recorded, and the severity profile skews heavily toward the upper tiers: 47% of campaigns are rated Critical and another 29% are rated High under the severity rating system, meaning roughly three in four recalls involve conditions associated with crash risk, fire, loss of vehicle control, or serious injury. Medium-rated campaigns account for 18%, while Low and Informational recalls together make up just over 6% of the total.

The F-150 carries the largest recall volume in the lineup at 273 campaigns, followed by the Explorer at 196 and the Escape at 153. Those three models alone account for more than 620 recall campaigns, and each has drawn recalls across both Critical and High severity tiers during their respective production spans. Among more recent activity, a 2024 Explorer recall rated Critical involves a park system that, if damaged, may fail to engage "PARK" properly, creating a vehicle rollaway risk and increasing the potential for injury. That kind of consequence, unintended vehicle movement without driver input, is representative of the Critical tier across the broader Ford record, where defects tied to braking, steering, fuel systems, and occupant restraints appear throughout decades of coverage.
