Models

Listed by name. Complaint counts rise with sales and with time on the road, so compare a model's years with each other, not one model with another. Last column: the model year with the most owner complaints in its first three years; a dash means the model has too few comparable years or complaints to pick one.

Ford recalls in 2026 so far

This list has the 79 vehicle recalls NHTSA has received so far in 2026 that cover Ford vehicles, newest first (NHTSA's recall file of Nov 12, 2026). Each is listed once, however many models it covers; its model years are shown when it covers Ford vehicles alone, and a recall of a model on this site links to that model's page. 'Vehicles in the recall' is NHTSA's estimate for the whole recall, which can include other brands. Recalls filed by upfitters, conversion builders and distributors are not included. The count above, 88, is every recall Ford filed this year, including any equipment recalls and recalls of its other brands; this list has the vehicle recalls of Ford vehicles filed by any automaker on the recalls-by-automaker list.
