Presumably only those ways that have a consistent highway value for ways joined at both ends? If there's a different highway value at ways joined at each end, then you should at minimum add a fixme to the ford section, or a note for local mappers to check?
A change of ways would be tricky, but according to taginfo data for the UK this will be nodes only - https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org.uk/tags/highway=ford shows 645 nodes, no ways. FWIW https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/highway=ford shows 2 ways only so I suspect that someone has already tidied those (I certainly had a go at updating any that I was familiar with many years ago to an appropriate highway type). 82 of the 645 have both ford=yes and highway=ford (see https://overpass-turbo.eu/s/F0w ).
Picking an example near me, https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1467099600/history I'd suggest needs a resurvey, but only because it's 7 years since anyone's been there and someone might have put a bridge in, not because it wasn't a "ford=yes" 7 years ago. A bit of the history of the issue can be seen on that node - a previous mechanical edit 6 years ago https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/14211906 was reverted in https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/14236131 . At the time many commonly-used maps didn't understand ford=yes so a mechanical edit with no discussion created quite a few complaints.
