A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is P0751 a known problem on Ford vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 361 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming P0751 on 37 Ford model years (2016–2023). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Ford models does P0751 appear on most?

2020 Explorer (16 documents), 2021 Mustang (16 documents), 2022 Explorer (15 documents).

Does P0751 on a Ford mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
