NHTSA lists 71 distinct recall campaigns across 2020–2026 Ford F-150 model years; some include serious safety instructions.
The baseline includes these examples: • 21V407000 (certain 2021 trucks): damaged steering gear can cause loss of steering. Owners are advised not to drive until repaired; Ford says the vehicle will be towed and the gear replaced free. • 21V653000 (certain 2021 Super Cab trucks): misrouted seat belts may not restrain occupants. Owners should inspect them; do not drive if the driver belt fails inspection, and do not use the passenger seat if its belt fails. Dealers inspect and replace affected parts free. • 26V578000 (certain 2023–2026 trucks in the years checked): an unsecured fuel tank may leak or detach, risking fire, stall or a crash. Dealers will inspect and replace straps as necessary, free. • 26V402000 (certain 2021 trucks): transmission park-system damage may cause rollaway. The listed software update and inspection/repair remedy was anticipated in April 2027. • For certain 2026 trucks, 26V653000 concerns inaccurate speed readings; its remedy was anticipated in December 2026. 26V689000 concerns a tailgate cable that can fail under heavy load; its remedy was anticipated in January 2027.
