Ford GT
NHTSA safety across every Ford GT model year we cover.
Across the 4 model years of the Ford GT we cover (2019 to 2022), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The Ford GT is a low-volume, mid-engine supercar produced in extremely limited numbers for 2019 through 2022. Aimed squarely at serious performance enthusiasts and collectors, it occupies the very top of Ford's lineup. With a carbon-fiber body, a twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6, and race-derived aerodynamics, it is one of the most exotic vehicles ever to wear a Blue Oval badge.
From a pure safety-data standpoint, the 2019 to 2022 Ford GT presents an unusual picture: NHTSA has not crash-tested it, there are zero recalls on record across the covered model years, and owner complaints filed with the federal agency sit at an absolute zero. That last figure is less surprising than it sounds. Ford built only a few hundred GTs per year under a strict application process, meaning the total population of these vehicles on public roads is extraordinarily small. A thin owner base naturally produces thin complaint data, so the absence of complaints should not be read as a broad safety endorsement so much as a reflection of the car's rarity. The lack of crash-test data is similarly expected. NHTSA does not typically purchase and destroy six-figure supercars for its standard testing programs, and the GT's production numbers make fleet sampling impractical. What shoppers do get is a vehicle with zero documented recall campaigns, which is a meaningful data point in its own right. The GT was engineered with motorsport-grade structural integrity in mind, including an advanced carbon-fiber monocoque, but MotorCaliber cannot assign a safety rating where no test data exists. Buyers should approach this vehicle with eyes open: it is fast, it is track-capable, and the federal safety record is essentially a blank slate.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally regard the Ford GT as a showcase of engineering ambition, praising its race-inspired aerodynamics, the rigidity of its carbon-fiber construction, and its visceral driving character. Most acknowledge that everyday comfort and practicality take a back seat to outright performance, and that the GT is best understood as a road-legal racing machine rather than a conventional grand tourer.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2019 to 2022 Ford GT in any of the model years we cover, so there are no star ratings or Safety Index scores available to guide your purchase decision.
- Zero recalls were issued for the Ford GT across the 2019 to 2022 model years in our dataset, which is a positive indicator, though the extremely low production volume limits how much weight that figure can carry on its own.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA total zero for these model years, but this almost certainly reflects the car's rarity and tightly controlled ownership pool rather than a comprehensive real-world safety signal.
- Because the GT is a limited-production supercar with a very small owner base, standard consumer-safety data sources will remain thin for the foreseeable future. Prospective buyers should seek pre-purchase inspections from technicians who specialize in high-performance exotic vehicles.
