WTF FORD???
Received the recall notice for the bad camera software.
In the very same recall notice, it says MY TRUCK IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL AND TO IGNORE IT!!!
Why in the hell did they send me a recall notice, with my VIN on it and it does not affect my truck???
FORD MOTOR COMPANY, this is really STUPID!

My 2022 has two open recalls.
The first recall, fuel pump can stop working/leave you stranded is dated 7/2025 no resolution available.
The second recall, windshield wiper dated 2/2026, parts should be available by the end of 6/2026.
The only thing Ford cares about is their profit margins.

From a different perspective, Ford and/or the dealer likely get lots of calls from people who hear there is a safety recall on their MY. They then learn the recall does not apply to their VIN. Sending the "does not apply" notice may be an attempt to reduce customer support workload that may cost more than sending the notice.
Sending out the notice you received is completely automated and costs Ford very little.

What the OP is saying is that it's odd to get a recall letter saying that your truck doesn't have a recall. I felt the same way when I got the same letter a few days ago. Everyone is familiar with NHTSA and checking for recalls.

Really? I would bet there are more people not familiar with checking NHTSA for recalls than there are that do. Then there are those who don't even know where to find their VIN.

I’d rather receive recall notifications that don’t apply than notifications that do apply and have no resolution.

It seems like the NHTSA has always had issues with my recalls, but at least Ford has them right. To date, I have only had 2 recalls on my 22:
- 22V250: issued sometime late 2021/early 2022. This is one of the previous windshield wiper recalls, not the current one. I took it into the dealership and while they didn't do anything about it, they did state that it was "ok and didn't need it..." They cleared it in their system and it no longer shows up in my FP app, or on the Ford website, however, the NHTSA still shows it as "recall incomplete." So, Ford cleared it, but the NHTSA site doesn't reflect that.
- 22E04: issued sometime in 2022 IIRC... I have opted not to have this "emissions" recall done, so it still shows up in my FP app, and on the Ford site when I enter my VIN. However, the NHTSA site makes no mention of it... neither as current or previous...
