2025 Ford Transit-350

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Transit.

The 2025 Ford Transit sits on the 350 chassis platform, carrying a remarkably thin owner-complaint ledger of just two reports—Service Brakes the lone trouble spot—alongside four open recalls that frame the early picture more completely. Set against a complaint history spanning 2001 through 2026, the current model year lands near the floor of that range, well below the 2015 peak of 188 reports and only a step above the single complaint logged in 2001. For researchers, that pairing—historically low owner gripes tempered by a non-trivial recall count—points to the formal campaigns as the more revealing reliability signal for this vintage.

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 2025 Ford Transit sits at the tail end of a clear downward trend in federal complaint and recall activity for this generation. After peaking at 188 complaints and 26 recalls in 2015, the model line saw a steady decline, with 2020 recording 82 complaints and 9 recalls, and 2026 dropping to just 5 complaints and zero recalls. The 2025 model year itself shows only two reported complaint areas—one for service brakes and one for forward collision avoidance—with no crash or fire complaints. This places the 2025 model in a mature, well-sorted phase of the generation, where issues have been largely ironed out. Based on the available data, the 2025 Transit appears to be a very solid used purchase with minimal reported problems.
