What is a Ford VIN recall check?

At Vehicle.report, you can search for recalls issued for any Ford vehicle. Manufacturers like Ford are among the top sources of information for our comprehensive database of vehicle data. Using the vehicle identification number, you can verify if Ford issued a recall for any vehicle.

A vehicle safety recall is usually initiated by a car manufacturer for defects that pose a risk to vehicle safety. This defect may have been discovered in several vehicles of the same design or manufacture or in components of the same type and manufacture. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an agency within the US Department of Transportation, oversees the safety recalls.

A VIN or vehicle identification number is a 17-digit alphanumeric code that serves to identify your Ford vehicle as a unique unit. No two vehicles have the same VIN. It is the key to all data about a vehicle.

How do I find previous recalls on my Ford car?

Ford has a recall rate of 1,139 per 1,000 vehicles based on NHTSA data from January 1985 to September 2016.
