No other car manufacturer has as much reminder as Ford in 2025
Almost three years ago, Ford CEO Jim Farley said that quality fixation was his primary priority for blue oval. However, Farley also said at that time that it would “take several years” and it seemed to be an accurate assessment when he was looking at the shocking recall of Ford so far this year.
In an analysis made by CarscoopsFord has issued 81 downloads in 2025 so far. This is more than the entire number of downloads (67) for the brand in 2024, when Ford was only behind Stellantis (72) for Total Recalls. At this speed, Ford will hit over 150 downloads until the year is over.
A more deep look at the numbers

These 81 downloads have affected over four million vehicles, and Ford has issued a recall every 2.12 days so far in 2025. An average of over 50,000 vehicles have been affected for each recall. Even worse, 80 out of 81 reminders this year require some kind of physical check or repair of the affected vehicles, so the problems were such that they could not be easily resolved by updating on the air.
Here are just a few of the withdrawals issued by Ford in 2025:
-
Rear view camera: 1.1 million vehicles affected
-
Management Problems: Over 29,000 Affected Vehicles
-
Stopping Damage: 2,345 Affected Vehicles
-
Seat problems: over 300,000 are affected vehicles
This is not a comprehensive list and the combination of electronic, mechanical and lining shows that the overall quality is a problem, not a specific aspect of Ford vehicles.
Data from Casual Supports this latest analysis; By mid -May, Ford had dialed 51 reminders. The next closer brand was the VW Group, with 14, so it’s not even close.
The camera and electronics cause the most headaches

Downloading the rear-view camera has been the largest for Ford so far in 2025. It affects everything-from the crossover to escape to high-end models such as Lincoln Navigator and Nautilus. The camera display image may freeze or show a delayed image, which can cause the driver does not notice an immediate danger. Electrical systems are 17 unique download campaigns.
It is worth noting that 14 of Ford’s reminder this year has participated under 100 vehicles so that they have not been so widespread. However, even if we exclude these 14 reminders, Ford still has many more quality problems than any other car manufacturer.

The withdrawals can be issued at any time and for vehicles of any age, so it is worth noting that the current execution of Ford withdrawals is influenced by certain older models dating from the model year of 2020. Considering the most reliability of the JD Power 202 – which tracked the number of problems that of the brand for the brand of the owners AS bad. It registered 208 problems per 100 vehicles, just below the industry average, but over brands like Subaru, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz and Jeep.
However, there is obviously a quality crisis in Ford, and even if not all Ford owners are left aside from the side of the road, withdrawals are destructive to the overall property experience and some of them are safety risks.
We hoped that the brand would make more progress after Farley’s explicit recognition that the quality needed attention in 2022.
