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 oil pump belt recall completion and engine repair history.
3. Request front axle half shaft recall repair records.
4. Confirm camera recall completion and check image operation.
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.
