Safety advisory. One or more recalls carry a do-not-drive warning, which means owners should stop driving the vehicle until the repair is done. Check your VIN to see whether a specific vehicle is affected and still unrepaired.
Safety score
30/100
Above-average recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 30% of vehicles we track.

The Ford F-150 scores 30 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 70% involve a critical safety system, 2 carried a do-not-drive warning, and 44% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.

Those 125 campaigns span 17 model years of the Ford F-150. The single largest affected 4,647 vehicles, over steering. Some carry a do-not-drive warning, the most serious class of recall, which means NHTSA advises against driving the vehicle until the repair is done. 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 F-150 problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.

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 F-150 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.

Defect: Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2014 Ford F-150 and Flex vehicles manufactured March 1, 2014, to May 31, 2014. The affected vehicles were manufactured with a reduced clearance between the seat frame and the seat track assembly.

Does the Ford F-150 have any recalls?
Yes. NHTSA has 125 recall campaigns on record for the Ford F-150 across the 2010 to 2026 model years. The most common areas are the power train, electrical system, and exterior lighting.
How many times has the Ford F-150 been recalled?
The Ford F-150 has 125 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 F-150 recall?
The most serious recall on record involves the steering, affecting 4,647 vehicles. NHTSA flagged it as do-not-drive, meaning owners should stop driving the vehicle until the repair is done. A loss of steering control while driving increases the risk of a vehicle crash.
Which Ford F-150 model year has the most recalls?
The 2022 Ford F-150 has the most, with 31 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 F-150 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.
