Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Zetec Maintenance Why doesn't Ford list all the recalls ?

I just went to Alldata.com and the Ford Recall website and Ford only lists the recent recall(01S22) on their website when I enter my VIN.

WTF ?

Are the ones listed on Alldata not worthy for Ford to put on their list ?

Prolly becuase not all of the recalls are for your vehicle. When you put your VIN in, Ford can check and see which ones apply to your car. When there is a recall, a car company usually recalls thousands of vehicles. However, not every one is always affected, and they only recall the ones that are.
