Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Body & structureSuspension
Filed Aug 5, 2026

The contact owns a 2025 Ford F-600 SD. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the front of the vehicle raised up and the contact discovered that the vehicle, which had been converted into a motorhome, was improperly weighted, causing excessive weight on the rear axle. The contact stated that there was no clearance between the rear spring pack and the bump stop because the rear of the vehicle was significantly heavier than the front. The contact stated that the rear springs were resting on the frame of the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where it was diagnosed and determined that additional rear springs needed to be installed to increase the clearance between the springs and the bump stops. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 3,300.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
