Buying a used 2022 Ford E-450? Check these 3 recalls first
Two of this year's three recalls address the same problem from different angles: sudden loss of power steering assist on E-350/E-450 vans. A third, rated critical, covers fuel tanks on E-350, E-450 and F-59 that may rust. NHTSA has logged 13 owner complaints — unverified reports — with no crashes, fires or injuries, but steering (9) and service brakes (7) lead the subject areas, echoing the steering recalls. Low complaint volume is common on a commercial chassis.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm both power steering recalls were completed by a Ford dealer
- Inspect the fuel tank and its straps for rust or perforation
- Test drive for steering assist dropout or heavy steering at low speed
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
