Does a recall affect your Ford Tourneo?

Not every Ford Tourneo is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Ford Tourneo recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2004 to 2026

2026 had the most, with 9. 2026 runs to 14 September 2026. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.
