Ford Skyrockets To 104 Recalls With No End In Sight

In one fell swoop, six new Ford and Lincoln recalls have dropped.
The recalls impact tens of thousands of vehicles including the Corsair and F-150.
A number of the campaigns are to address previously botched recalls.

Ford has blown past the 100^th recall mark as they’ve suddenly jumped from 98 to 104. Let’s repeat that again, 104 recalls in less than nine months.

To put that massive number into perspective, the second highest automaker is FCA at 21. That means Ford has issued nearly five times more recalls than its nearest competitor.

Looking at it another way, Ford has issued more recalls than FCA, Volkswagen, GM, Mercedes, Honda, and Hyundai combined. Quite a bit more actually as adding all their recalls up only totals 77. That means Ford is still beating their combined amount by a stunning 27 recalls.

Given the sheer number of recalls this time around, we’ll keep things brief. Three of the recalls are related to parking lights that may flicker when the headlights are activated. All relate to the 2022 F-150 and impact a total of 22,166 trucks.

A vast majority are apparently getting recalled for the first time, while others are getting recalled once again. Depending on the vehicle, dealers will either update the LED driver module software or update the software and replace the LED control module.

Moving on, one 2024 Mustang is being recalled over a botched earlier repair. This means the car’s instrument cluster might not work at startup or while driving. Since this is a software issue, the dealer will simply update the instrument cluster.

There’s another botched recall involving 102 Lincoln Nautilus crossovers from the 2024 and 2025 model years. The original recall was for an automatic window reversal system that may not react correctly after detecting an obstacle, such as a finger. To address the issue, dealers will now install the correct driver door module and passenger door module software.

Finally, Lincoln is recalling 41,875 Corsairs from the 2020-2022 model years. The government says water can get into rearview camera connections and prevent images from being displayed. To fix the problem, dealers will replace the rearview camera and harness.
