Highest complaint totals
- 2018 Ford F-150 - 2,316 complaints in its first 8 years (2,316 to date)
- 1997 Ford F-150 - 2,231 complaints in its first 8 years (2,758 to date)
- 2013 Ford F-150 - 2,022 complaints in its first 8 years (2,987 to date)
Ranked on distinct complaints filed within eight years of the model year, so old and new years get the same exposure window. Not adjusted for sales volume; a best-selling year files more complaints at the same failure rate.
Lowest totals among mature years
- 1991 Ford F-150 - 172 complaints in its first 8 years (304 to date)
- 1996 Ford F-150 - 203 complaints in its first 8 years (324 to date)
- 2008 Ford F-150 - 255 complaints in its first 8 years (369 to date)
Same eight-year window, among model years old enough to have completed it and with at least 25 complaints in it. Model years before 1990 are excluded because the federal file begins in 1995. A low total is not proof of reliability.

Recall campaigns, all years
Every campaign filed against this model, with the model years it covers. Safety-recall remedies are normally provided at no charge. Under US federal law the mandatory free remedy applies when the vehicle was no more than 15 years old at the time the defect was determined; manufacturers often cover older vehicles voluntarily. Canadian rules differ. Confirm eligibility with the manufacturer using the VIN.
