Ford faces unprecedented recall crisis after issuing over 150 recalls in 2025 , nearly double the previous industry record. The automaker's aggressive proactive strategy has affected virtually every model since 2020, with only the discontinued Ford GT sports car escaping issues. Problems range from windshield defects and suspension failures to rearview camera malfunctions and brake system faults across SUVs, trucks, and commercial vehicles. Ford doubled its safety team and increased testing protocols, attributing the surge to early intervention before major incidents occur. The company has recalled tens of millions of vehicles over six years, setting a new industry benchmark that reflects both heightened safety scrutiny and operational challenges facing the traditional automaker.
