Buying a used 2023 Ford E-450? Check these 3 recalls first
Two critical recalls define this year: a rear wheel that can separate from the vehicle, and fuel tanks on E-350, E-450 and F-59 that may rust. A third, minor one covers a missing tire information label. Only two owner complaints have reached NHTSA — unverified reports — one involving a crash, filed under structure, suspension and vehicle speed control. That sample is too small to read as a pattern, so recall completion tells you more than complaint history here.
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.
- Have the VIN checked for the rear wheel separation recall repair
- Look for rust or leaks around the fuel tank and its mounting
- Confirm the tire information label is present on the door jamb
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
