Recalls cost Ford an eye-watering $4.8 billion in 2023
New vehicles will be held for up to six weeks so Ford can perform quality checks before they are sent to dealers and customers. Ford says it avoided a dozen recalls by holding back 2024 F-150s by six weeks to inspect them. In 2023, Ford issued more recalls in the U.S. than any other manufacturer.
In one case, inspections found that the F-150’s wiring harness was improperly installed behind the dashboard and could rub against a metal bracket. Over time, this would have severed the wiring and caused the instrument cluster to go blank. The Ford Explorer is now being subjected to the same rigorous quality inspections after production, and the same will be done for the 2025 Bronco Sport and 2025 Maverick, both of which will arrive later this year.
