Ford Recalls 2025

It’s been a rocky year for Ford on the recall front. As of August, the Blue Oval has issued the most recalls of any other manufacturer: A whopping 94 of them at the time of publication. Those recalls span multiple model lines and encompass nearly two million vehicles all told.

The earliest of Ford’s recall troubles began in mid-January, when the company issued four recalls ranging from loss of drive power to a misassembled steering gear. On May 27, Ford issued its most recalls in a single day: 13. For context, that’s the same number of recalls Mercedes-Benz has issued all year.

According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Ford’s electrical systems face the largest number of recalls: 21. Another 12 recalls are related to “back over prevention”—or, the backup camera—10 are for powertrain, seven are for brakes, and the list goes on.

Second only to Ford is RV manufacturer Forest River, Inc., which has issued 23 recalls so far this year. The auto manufacturer with the second-most recalls, meanwhile, is Chrysler with 21 of them.

As we know, though, recalls aren’t always a bad thing—especially if they help identify a larger manufacturing issue. But for Ford, racking up nearly 100 recalls by August is causing a significant hit to the automaker’s reputation—and bottom line.

Ford CEO Jim Farley recognizes the issues surrounding these recalls, but that doesn’t mean the number of recalls is likely to stop. In a recent interview with CNBC, Farley said that the company has employed even more inspectors and engineers to identify quality issues in the field, and that recalls for older Ford models could “potentially go up.”

Farley notes:

‘The recalls that we had are vehicles engineered in 2015 and 2016, and a lot of software OTAs that are not that expensive. I wouldn’t correlate for investors the number of recalls and costs. Actually, our base coverages make up 60 percent of our warranty costs, and those go down as we drive these quality improvements into our product.

But, you know, the products are out in the market, and, you know, I would expect recalls, potentially go up at Ford, because we want to protect the customers. We have more inspectors, more engineers looking at our quality issues in the field. These are vehicles that are six or seven years old, and we want to do what’s right for the customer. It’s the longest lagging metric—recalls—for quality improvements.

This will be the last one that turns. warranty coverages are already going down, and that’s something that we’re really proud of.’

Still, 94 recalls is a pretty significant number for one of America’s largest automakers. With that in mind, here are all of them (as of August 4, 2025).
