Do Ford vehicle Recalls expire?

Find out important information regarding the validity of vehicle recalls and other service programs for your Ford vehicle.

It is important to understand the distinction between different types of vehicle programs issued by Ford.

Regarding Safety, Compliance, and Emissions Recalls, these are critical actions taken to address potential issues that could affect the safety or regulatory compliance of your vehicle. These specific types of recalls do not expire. This means that affected vehicles remain eligible to have the necessary repair or modification completed by an authorised Ford dealer at no cost, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage, until the required work is performed.

However, please be aware that other types of vehicle programs, often referred to as Customer Satisfaction Programs, are different. These programs are typically implemented to address non-safety-related issues and usually have specified expiration dates and/or mileage limitations.

Specific details regarding the terms and conditions, including any expiration dates or mileage limits for Customer Satisfaction Programs applicable to a particular vehicle, are included in the official letter sent to the last owner of record for the affected vehicles.

Therefore, while Safety, Compliance, and Emissions Recalls remain valid indefinitely, other customer-focused programs do have time or mileage constraints.
