American regulators have recorded 28 more distinct campaigns against the Ford TRANSIT than the Dutch register holds.

What those campaigns were about

NHTSA files every campaign against the system at fault. For the Ford TRANSIT, the American record breaks down like this: counted once per campaign, not once per model year.

What this does not mean. A larger count on one side is not proof that the other country's owners were abandoned. Model variants differ between markets, an American campaign can cover an engine or body never sold in Europe, and a privately imported car has no national importer obliged to write to its owner, which is itself worth knowing. We publish the difference as a measured fact and an open question, never as an accusation.

US figures are distinct NHTSA campaign numbers for vehicle recalls, read from NHTSA's published bulk file, last read 17 September 2026. Dutch figures are campaigns recorded by the Netherlands vehicle register; the fleet count is the Netherlands vehicle register's vehicle register. One campaign counts once however many model years it covers.

What the TRANSIT record is mostly about

Recalls are not interchangeable, and this model’s are not spread evenly. The single largest group is seats, with 10 of the 57 American campaigns filed against it, followed by back over prevention (10) and power train (6). The full breakdown is in the table above, counted once per campaign rather than once per model year: a single campaign covering six years of TRANSIT production counts once here, which is not how most recall counts are quoted.

With 160,222 on the Dutch register, this is a common car here, which makes the difference between the two countries’ files worth more than a footnote.

Check a Ford TRANSIT

A recall lookup tells you what is open on your car today. It does not tell you whether the notice was edited after it was published: manufacturers revise them, and the new version replaces the old one on the public record. We keep the originals, hashed and dated. Check a Ford TRANSIT against ours, or look your own car up by country.

How these two registers are compared, why most models cannot be compared at all, and which forty can: the method is here. Figures rebuild themselves from NHTSA’s bulk file and the Netherlands national vehicle register’s open data; freshness is public on the status page.

Every campaign, as the authority wrote it

32 of these campaigns are listed below. The page behind every number carries the fault, the fix and the wording as filed - and any later change to that wording.
