Buying a used 2020 Ford Ecosport? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 395 owner complaints on file

Three recalls here: airbags that may not inflate on EcoSport and Transit Connect, the recurring Focus/EcoSport oil pump belt, and a rearview camera image that can go blank. NHTSA lists 395 owner complaints — unverified reports — with five crashes, eight fires and six injuries; those eight fire reports are the highest count among the EcoSport years listed. Complaints again cluster on engine and engine cooling (179) and engine (167), with power train at 53.

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. Confirm the airbag inflation recall was completed on this VIN
3. Check that the airbag warning light cycles off at startup
4. Ask about any engine overheating, smoke or burning smell
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.
