Ford has indeed, had lots of recalls, but so has Toyota, GM and various others. When I owned my Land Cruiser, I was notified that a minor potentially faulty part had to be thoroughly inspected during the vehicle’s next scheduled appointment and (if it needed to be replaced) to expect it’s maintenance turn-around-time to be a little longer than usual.
