Ford Motor Co. just issued a new recall, this time on the 2025 Ford Super Duty, which includes a do not drive warning. Since this only involves 2,345 vehicles, it’s not something we would normally cover. However, this seems to be indicative of a quality bigger issue. Ford recalls have been off the charts not […] (read full article...)
 
Just curious, how many weeks in a row of releasing recalls has it been for them? Gotta be close to a record.

I don't dislike them but damn.
 
I keep answering people on these forums when they ask which truck they should buy that I don't think they can go wrong with any of them. I know I come across as a GM Homer and I've been very happy with my truck and it's zero recalls. I'm also aware they have their own issues. But I just don't understand how Ford isn't held more accountable by outlets like consumer reports and others with their crazy constant recalls.

With the amount of recalls they have I believe there's just as many issues that will go unrecalled... And it will be up to the owner to fix those issues hopefully still under warranty.

I think because, when they look at the individual vehicles, they are fine. It's just that as a whole brand, it's a lot of recalls. Personally, right now, the only brand I would hesitate with is GM. Sorry, but they just don't inspire a lot of confidence lately. I wanted a Canyon so bad but since they debuted, but it's been a shit-show of everything from flickering headlights to dented roofs so I passed. The Ranger and Taco have been relatively smooth since release. The 6.2 fiasco just added to the bad feeling. Yep, it was a fu-up like the Tundra but it was the slow response that left a bad taste. Why did it take four separate investigations to admit an issue?
 
Hmm, I probably disagree on the Toyota comparison. I don't see a big difference. GM sells alot more trucks than Toyota, and significantly more engines/options, and it looks like they were trying to pin down the cause and struggled to do it, just like Toyota. In the end, they did and issued a recall. It affected 3 years of production on 6.2's coming out of a specific parts/assembly factory. Toyota also took several years to investigate and still hasn't fully addressed the issue beyond manufacturing debris. Engines keep throwing bearings though, that's well documented. They also ignored the hybrid trucks which have the same engine from the same factories and are also failing at a similar rate. They skirt around it because with the hybrid they can possibly limp off the road after a catastrophic failure. They also recalled 2 years of trucks, ignoring the 2024's and all of the hybrids. GM recalled 3 years of trucks.

In the end, they're both replacing engines and offering extended warranties.

I'm not saying one is better than the other just that GM appears to the fully addressing, for now, the issue and Toyota is not.
