Ford F-150 in the other registers

This site holds seven national and European registers. Ford F-150 is named on 122 American notices, 2 European, 2 Japanese and 41 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.

The Japanese register

The Israeli register

Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

The Canadian register on this site

Ford elsewhere in this register

Ford is named on 818 notices in the copy of Transport Canada’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

424 notices in this register name Visual System. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Ford F-150, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Ford: 1,346 in the register, and 672 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2024.
