The 2017 Ford GT has 4 recalls, all centered on the same fire risk: the rear wing's hydraulic control system can leak fluid onto the hot exhaust, where it may ignite.
The core defect involves the rear wing valve block leaking hydraulic fluid near exhaust surfaces. Prior repair attempts under earlier recall campaigns did not fully resolve the issue for some vehicles, which is why multiple recalls exist for the same underlying problem. Some vehicles that were brought in for the original repair were not fixed correctly and require a second repair to address the leak.
