Overview
The Stolen Vehicle Services uses various sensors and systems on your vehicle to monitor and report activity around your vehicle. The service will notify you of unusual or unexpected activity through the FordPass App.
In the event of theft, you can also use FordPass to report the theft and alert the police. This service then uses your vehicle’s cellular data connection and the ability to receive Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) data to track your vehicle.
Note: Tracking can be affected by the loss of these signals, the coverage in your area, or the vehicle's surroundings.
Once the customer assistance team confirms a vehicle is stolen, features in your vehicle (e.g., the Factory Reset function) and FordPass will be disabled. The Stolen Vehicle Services team will work directly with law enforcement to support the recovery of the vehicle.
