The airbag and belt concerns stand out alongside the camera display issue. NHTSA lists 395 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 5 crashes, 8 fires, and 6 injuries.

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.
- Request VIN-specific airbag recall completion records.
- Verify oil pump belt recall work and ask about engine repairs.
- Confirm camera recall completion and check for a blank image.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
