Notes to Data

Beginning with the 2011 model year the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) significantly changed its New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) and added a new metric, the Overall Vehicle Score (OVS), a calculation based on data from frontal crash, side crash, and rollover evaluations. We are simplifying our metrics and reporting NHTSA’s OVS. For detailed information on the NCAP system, see www.safercar.gov, and in particular http://www.safercar.gov/staticfiles/toolkit/pdfs/faq.pdf (pdf, 213kb).

Third party rated (IIHS)

Notes to Data

To earn an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick (TSP), a vehicle must receive “good” ratings in front, side, roof strength, and head restraint assessments. In 2013, IIHS began awarding Top Safety Pick+ (TSP+) for vehicles earning good ratings in all four of the above-mentioned evaluations plus at least an “acceptable” rating in a new small overlap frontal crash. In addition to the TSP awards, Ford received two TSP+ awards for 2013 MY vehicles. For detailed information on the IIHS’s testing procedures, see http://www.iihs.org/ratings/.

Third party rated (Euro NCAP)

Notes to Data

EuroNCAP combines all assessed criteria to an overall “fulfillment percentage” ranging from 0 percent to 100 percent. Star ratings are dependent on the fulfillment percentage. Currently a 75 percent or higher is required for a 5-star rating. In addition to the star ratings, five Ford vehicles received “Euro NCAP Advanced” rewards for new safety technologies in the 2012 ratings. For additional information, go to www.euroncap.com.
