Ford Recall Tracker — Latest Ford Recalls, Statistics & Quality News

Yes, the recall data is real. The commentary is not.

Fixed Daily uses real publicly available recall information, primarily from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The statistics, campaign numbers, affected vehicle counts, dates, and official recall descriptions identified as NHTSA data reflect the underlying government records. The jokes, commentary, badges, rankings, headlines, ratings, “Recall Forecast,” “Regret Calculator,” and similar editorial features are parody, satire, and opinion. We are not Ford. We are not NHTSA. We just own a calculator and apparently have too much free time.

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2015 Transit Connect vehicles that were previously remedied under NHTSA recall number 25V572. The rearview camera may display a distorted, inverted, intermittent, or blank image when the vehicle is in reverse.

Consequence

A rearview camera that displays an inverted, distorted, intermittent, or blank image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the rearview camera as necessary, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, are expected to be mailed in October 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2027. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S73.

Summary

Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain 2023-2025 Mustang Mache E vehicles that received a new Battery Energy Control Module (BECM) during a prior repair.

Consequence

An inaccurate state-of-charge reading can lead to an unexpected loss of drive power, increasing the risk of crash. Additionally, a high voltage battery fire increases the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will update the BECM software, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed September 18, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in December 2026. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's number for this recall is 26S68. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 9, 2026.
