Ford has been plagued by vehicle recalls in recent years. In 2025 alone, it had 143 safety campaigns, which was significantly more than any other automaker. FCA US, the North American branch of Stellantis, was in a distant second place with 51 recalls. The situation hasn’t been much better in 2026. For example, the company had to recall 4.4 million pickups in February for a software update to fix an issue where a trailer being towed would have its brake lights and turn signals intermittently stop working.
