Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2025 Transit.
The 2025 Ford Transit enters the current model year with a notably quiet complaint record — just two owner complaints on file alongside four recalls, with service brakes standing out as the top complaint area. Across the Transit's documented complaint history spanning 2001 through 2026, this model year sits near the bottom of the spectrum, far removed from the peak of 188 complaints recorded in 2015 and close to the low of a single complaint in 2001. For a researcher tracking the model's reliability trajectory, the 2025's early figures suggest one of the more stable entries in the Transit's history, though the four recalls indicate that active safety oversight remains part of the picture.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The Ford Transit's federal record outlines a generation arc that peaked with significant regulatory friction in 2015—recording 188 complaints and 26 recalls—before generally declining through 2018 (55 complaints, 14 recalls) and seeing a moderate complaint resurgence in 2020 (82 complaints, 9 recalls). Although the year-by-year data skips directly from 2020 to 2026, the 2025 model clearly falls at the tail end of this arc, where major issues have largely stabilized, preceding a 2026 model year with only 5 complaints and zero recalls. For the 2025 Transit specifically, federal records reflect just two complaints—one for service brakes and one for forward collision avoidance/unknown issues—with zero crash or fire incidents, though the data does not specify their root causes. Falling firmly within the generation's stabilized, descending risk curve, the 2025 Transit demonstrates minimal early regulatory flags, making it a highly favorable and low-risk model year to purchase used.
