Buying a used 2022 Ford Ecosport? Check these 2 recalls first
This year carries the same two high-severity recalls as 2021 — the Focus/EcoSport oil pump belt, and axle shafts that can pull out and cause a loss of power. Complaint volume drops sharply: 10 owner reports to NHTSA, unverified, with two crashes and no fires or injuries, spread thinly across structure, engine, air bags and power train. With so few reports on file, recall repair status tells you more than the complaint record does.
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.
- Ask for proof the axle shaft recall was completed
- Confirm the oil pump belt recall repair on the VIN
- Check service records for any engine or drivetrain work
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
