If you’ve ever wondered how to check for recalls on your Ford or what to do if one pops up, you’re in the right place. We’ve broken it down so you know exactly what steps to take, who to call, and why it matters.

What Is a Vehicle Recall?

A recall is issued when the manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) determines that a vehicle or part poses a potential safety risk. Common recall types include:

• Airbag System Defects
• Brake or Fuel Line Issues
• Electrical System Malfunctions
• Software Glitches Affecting Performance
• Suspension or Steering Problems

Recalls don’t necessarily mean your vehicle is unsafe to drive, but they do require attention. The good news? If there’s an active recall on your Ford, repairs are handled free of charge at certified dealerships, like Berglund Ford of Bedford.

How to Check for Ford Recalls

Here’s how you can quickly and easily check for recalls on your Ford vehicle:

• Locate Your VIN: Your 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is located on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your registration paperwork.
• Visit the Official Ford Recall Site: Go to www.ford.com/support/recalls. Enter your VIN when prompted and see if there are any current recalls on your Ford vehicle.
• Use the NHTSA Recall Lookup Tool: For an alternative search, visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter your VIN for federally listed recalls.
