Safety score
97/100
Low recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 97% of vehicles we track.

The Ford E-Series scores 97 out of 100 (grade A), one of the cleaner recall records among the vehicles we track. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 35% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 13% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.

Those 54 campaigns span 16 model years of the Ford E-Series. The single largest affected 1,456,417 vehicles, over back over prevention. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common E-Series problems owners report.

The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Ford E-Series may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

Common questions about Ford E-Series recalls

Does the Ford E-Series have any recalls?
Yes. NHTSA has 54 recall campaigns on record for the Ford E-Series across the 2010 to 2026 model years. The most common areas are the equipment adaptive/mobility, fuel system, and equipment.
How many times has the Ford E-Series been recalled?
The Ford E-Series has 54 recall campaigns from the 2010 to 2026 model years. A single campaign often covers several model years at once, so the number of recalls is not the same as the number of years affected.
What is the most serious Ford E-Series recall?
The most serious recall on record involves the back over prevention, affecting 1,456,417 vehicles. A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Which Ford E-Series model year has the most recalls?
The 2011 Ford E-Series has the most, with 23 recall campaigns on record. Older model years often pick up more recalls over time, since defects can surface years after a car is built.
How do I check if my Ford E-Series has an open recall?
Enter your 17-digit VIN on the recall check page. It returns the recalls tied to your exact vehicle straight from NHTSA. Recall repairs are free at a franchised dealer, with no expiration on most safety recalls.

Recall data comes from NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. For how it is sourced and how the safety score is built, see the methodology and data sources. This page is a reference, not legal or safety advice.
