High recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 2% of makes we track.

Mercury scores 18 out of 100 (grade F) for recall severity, which ranks it 51 of 52 makes and among the heaviest of any brand we track. The score is the recall-weighted average of its models, so the brands with the most do-not-drive and critical-safety recalls sit at the bottom. How the score works.

In total, NHTSA lists 16 Mercury recall campaigns across 4 models for the 2010-2011 model years. The single largest affected 2,602,668 vehicles. The system recalled most often is the air bags.

A high recall count usually tracks how many cars a brand sells and how long its models have been on the road, not how dangerous they are. The safety score below adjusts for that by weighing how serious and recent each recall is. The table further down breaks every Mercury model out so you can see which ones drive the count.
