Understanding How Recalls are Issued
How does Ford Decide What Vehicles to Include in a Recall?
All recall programs are VIN specific. Vehicles involved in a recall may be identified by specific build dates within a model year, the assembly plant or other factors. If a program is announced on a vehicle, Ford will notify the last owner on record by mail.
