Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify VIN-specific oil pump belt recall completion.
3. Request front seat frame recall inspection or repair records.
4. Ask about engine, transmission, and fuel-system repair history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
