FORD GT Recalls

The Ford GT has 9 recalls spanning the 2005-2018 model years, with the most serious recent issue being a hydraulic fluid leak from the rear wing system on 2017-2018 models that can drip onto hot exhaust surfaces and start a fire. The 2017-2018 rear wing hydraulic issue has a layered history: an initial repair attempt on 2017 vehicles did not fully resolve the leak in some cases, requiring a second round of repairs. Owners of 2017 models who had the wing system serviced under the original recall should confirm the follow-up work was also completed. Going back to the early production years, 2005-2006 models carry Takata airbag inflator recalls affecting both the driver and passenger sides. Moisture intrusion over time can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, sending metal fragments into the cabin rather than safely inflating the bag. The passenger-side recall for 2005-2006 vehicles was initially prioritized for cars registered or sold in high-humidity regions such as Florida, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico, where moisture exposure is greater, though the driver-side inflator recall covers 2005-2006 vehicles more broadly. The 2005 model year also has a separate driver inflator concern where excessive internal pressure during deployment can rupture the inflator or damage the airbag module enough to prevent it from deploying at all. The 2005 model year carries one additional mechanical recall: front upper and lower control arms with casting imperfections that can fracture, disrupting handling and raising the risk of a crash.
