Important limitation
A recall campaign is not the same as an open recall on one car
Campaigns are attached to production ranges, equipment and configurations. Some vehicles in the same model year are not covered; others have already received the repair. Only a VIN-level lookup can confirm applicability and completion.
Source trail
Where this Ford F-150 data comes from
VinExposed combines model-level research with the vehicle-specific history you get from a VIN. Reliability scores and complaint patterns come from Auto Reliability Index's Ford F-150 research, which analyzes NHTSA records and independent repair data.
Recall counts describe a model year, not the repair status of one car. Confirm the exact VIN with the official NHTSA recall lookup and a vehicle-history report before buying.
Buyer questions
Ford F-150 research FAQ
How many recalls does the Ford F-150 have?
The available NHTSA model-year records contain 74 unique recall campaigns across 8 Ford F-150 model years. A campaign can affect multiple years and only certain production dates or configurations.
How do I know whether my Ford F-150 recall was repaired?
Campaign data cannot show repair completion for one car. Enter the 17-character VIN in NHTSA's official recall lookup or ask a franchised dealer to check the manufacturer system.
