DETROIT, MI. (Pain In The Pass) >> Ford Motor Company logged far more recalls in 2025 than any other automaker, according to federal safety data, eclipsing a decade-old industry record and underscoring ongoing quality issues affecting millions of vehicles across multiple model lines.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Ford logged 152 recalls in 2025.
The manufacturer with the second-most recalls was Chrysler, with 53, followed by Forest River RV with 32, General Motors with 27 and International Motors with 26.
Under federal law, manufacturers are required to notify consumers when a vehicle fails to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards due to a safety-related defect. Recalls are intended to address safety issues before they result in injuries or fatalities.
Manufacturers typically initiate recalls to mitigate safety risks and avoid potential fines. However, the federal auto safety regulator, the NHTSA, which is part of the Department of Transportation, can also order recalls based on consumer complaints and safety investigations.
Although manufacturers can make every effort to notify affected customers about recalls, it’s not always possible. So, if you want to check if your vehicle has an active recall, sometimes you need to do it yourself. Checking for a new or old recalls on your vehicle is easier than you think. Enter your vehicles VIN number at NHTSA Recall Site or CheckTopProtect.org to see if your vehicle has a open recall.
