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. Request VIN-specific completion records for all 7 recalls.
3. Verify both front and rear brake hose recall repairs.
4. Ask for engine, torque converter, and shifter repair records.
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.
