Ford Explorer: which year to buy? Recalls and complaints by year

2020 has the most recall campaigns (33).

How to read this

Each row counts what official sources have on record for that model year: recall campaigns and owner complaints filed with NHTSA, and how many of those complaints mention a crash, a fire or an injury. We do not rate reliability. Fewer complaints can also mean fewer cars sold or a newer car, so open the year before you decide. 🇺🇸 Dado local

Perguntas

Qual ano do Ford Explorer tem mais recalls?
2020 has the most recall campaigns (33).
Which Ford Explorer years have no complaints or recalls on record?
2026. That can also mean fewer cars sold or a newer car, not only a better one.
How is this comparison made?
We count, for each model year, the recall campaigns and owner complaints filed with NHTSA, and how many complaints mention a crash, a fire or an injury. We do not rate reliability: raw counts also depend on how many cars were sold and how old they are.
