The short answer

From NHTSA’s files, copied Oct 19, 2026.

NHTSA files this version’s recalls and complaints under other names: they are linked below.

Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?

No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.

17 letters and numbers, at the bottom of the windshield on the driver’s side. VINs never use I, O or Q.

The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.

Filed under other names

NHTSA’s crash ratings name this version the 2015 Ford Cmax, but its recall and complaint files name Ford’s 2015 models differently, so no recalls or complaints are listed on this page. That says nothing either way.
