Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Ford Transit sits in the latter half of this generation's federal-record arc, between the 2020 data point and the much cleaner 2026 figures. After a problematic peak in 2015–2016 (188 complaints/26 recalls and 151 complaints/21 recalls, respectively), the line trended downward through 2017 and 2018 before a modest 2020 rebound to 82 complaints and 9 recalls. For 2022 itself, the available target-year detail shows only single complaints apiece across Visibility/Wiper, Electrical System, Engine, and an "Unknown Or Other" category, plus one fire complaint and zero crash complaints. Because 2022 is not directly listed in the year-by-year record, the data doesn't specify its total complaint, recall, or investigation volume; however, its placement after the 2015–2016 highs and amid the post-2018 decline suggests it benefits from the generation's maturation. The very low counts in the available 2022 complaint categories and the clean 2026 downstream figures reinforce that impression. Given the downward trend and the minimal severity reflected in the target-year data, 2022 appears to be a comparatively good year to buy a used Transit, provided a normal pre-purchase inspection confirms no individual history of the reported fire or electrical concerns.
