Showing coverage that applies to the Ford F-150 across 2015–2020.

The 2015–2020 F-150 is the thirteenth-generation truck in CarFaultIQ's coverage. The imported records for these model years show a wide configuration spread — 2.7, 3.0, 3.3, 3.5 and 5.0-litre engines in six- and eight-cylinder form, with gasoline, diesel and E85 fuel types recorded. Coverage below is scoped to this year range.

What was offered in these years

  • Engine sizes: 2.7L, 3L, 3.3L, 3.5L, 5L
  • Cylinder counts: 6, 8
  • Powertrain types: diesel, gasoline
  • Fuel types: diesel, ethanol (e85), gasoline, regular gasoline

Displacements and powertrain types come from the imported vehicle records for these model years. A specific engine code cannot be established from displacement alone, so no engine-specific claim is made here.

Documented problems for these years

Five documented pages reach these years, and most of them straddle the window rather than sitting inside it. Body panel corrosion is the only record matching 2015–2020 exactly. The brake master cylinder record covers 2013–2018 and the intercooler condensation misfire record covers 2011–2016, so both begin before this generation. The 10-speed harsh shifting record starts at 2017, and the EcoBoost cam phaser rattle record covers 2017–2021, continuing past the end of this window. Because the configuration spread is unusually wide here, several of these records relate to particular engine or drivetrain combinations rather than to every truck in the range.

Recall campaigns covering these years

Eight campaigns reach this window across six systems: equipment labelling, windshield wipers, exterior lighting, reversing detection, the electrical system and the power train. None applies across the whole 2015–2020 range. Two headlight campaigns and a labelling campaign cover 2018–2020; the remainder are narrower still, with four campaigns limited to the 2020 model year alone. On this generation a year match is a weak signal and the VIN check is the one that counts.

A model and year match does not prove a specific vehicle is affected. Check the VIN against the official recall database. Check a VIN at NHTSA

Buying and inspection guidance

CarFaultIQ holds no complaint-category aggregate scoped to these years, so the record here rests on the issue pages and the recall campaigns rather than on owner-report patterns. Given how many campaigns are restricted to single model years, and how wide the engine range is, confirm both the VIN and the exact configuration. The model-wide resources below cover best and worst years, common problems, and the full evidence list.
