See if your car is impacted by recent recall wave
Car recalls: Why they happen and what buyers should know
Why do car recalls happen? Here’s what to know if your car has an open recall.
A wave of recent Ford recalls has impacted hundreds of thousands of vehicles, with issues ranging from low-pressure fuel pump failure to faulty rearview cameras.
Since May 21, more than 30 recalls have been issued by the Ford Motor Company, with some owners already notified through notice letters, while others are set to receive the notices soon. The recalls range in size and scope: some impact a handful of vehicles, while others include hundreds of thousands.
In an emailed statement to USA TODAY, Ford said about a third of its recalls issued in 2025 were to confirm that vehicles have received fixes for previous recalls, rather than ongoing issues.
“The increase in recalls also reflects our intensive strategy to quickly find and fix any hardware and software issues and go the extra mile to protect customers,” the company said. “We will not compromise our responsibility to provide the same standard of excellence to all our customers, not just those buying new vehicles. We believe this approach will lead to systemic and lasting positive change and help us reach world-class levels for quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.”
Here’s which vehicles have been included in Ford recalls in roughly the past two months, and how to see if your car was impacted.
