2024 Ford Transit-150

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 Transit.

The 2024 Ford Transit is a full-size van built on the 150 platform, and with just 26 owner complaints recorded to date, it represents a dramatic improvement from the model's peak complaint year of 2015, which saw 188 complaints—the highest in the vehicle's tracked history spanning from 2001 through the projected 2026 model years—while the 10 recalls on this model year fall within a range that reflects the ongoing refinements Ford has applied to address structural and other systemic issues identified in earlier iterations.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant at 200,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 200,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The federal record does not include a 2024 aggregate entry, so direct comparisons rely on the adjacent years 2020 (82 complaints, 9 recalls) and 2026 (5 complaints, 0 recalls), which bracket the target year within a continued decline from the generation’s 2015 peak of 188 complaints and 26 recalls. For 2024 specifically, the top complaint categories are Structure (5), Wheels (3), Back Over Prevention (3), and Unknown or Other (2), with two fire complaints and no crash-related complaints; the data does not specify root causes. This places the 2024 model late in a fading-complaint arc, well past the 2015–2017 volume spike and closer to the low 2026 figures, though the absence of a 2024 total prevents a precise ranking. The low category counts and zero crash complaints suggest limited severe-safety exposure in the reported data, but the small sample size warrants caution. A used 2024 Transit looks like a reasonable buy within this generation, provided a pre-purchase inspection checks structure, wheels, and backup systems.
