Ford Motor Company is the largest single automaker grouping on the site, with 69 records — all of them NHTSA vehicle-safety recalls. Sixty of the 69 classify as vehicle-crash hazards in the site's taxonomy; the other nine fall under impact, crush, fire, and other taxonomy classes.
The notices run from 2023 through 2026, with 2024 the heaviest year (29 records). This hub reflects recall activity in the ingestion window, not a judgment about the vehicles relative to any other automaker's — larger model lineups produce more campaigns.
Use it to check a specific Ford vehicle. Each row links to the NHTSA campaign page, where you can enter a VIN and read the remedy.
How this hub is built. This page collects the 69 recall records tied to Ford Motor in the current 411 Press recall dataset. Records are grouped by a normalized version of the recalling firm's name (normalizer version 2026-07-28.C3.2). Parent, subsidiary, and "doing business as" relationships are not merged unless the agency data states them, so a corporate family can appear under more than one name. Regulator for these records: NHTSA. They were published 2023–2026. A recall count reflects how much recall activity fell inside the ingestion window — roughly February 2023 through May 2026, refreshed late May 2026 — not a ranking of relative safety. Larger manufacturers and higher-volume product lines file more notices. This is the current dataset, not an all-time total, and it grows as new notices are ingested. Every row links to the original agency notice.
