Buying a used 2019 Ford Edge? Check these 3 recalls first
The standout recall is a critical Ford/Lincoln transmission leak that creates a fire risk; a driver seat belt that may pull free in a crash and a rearview camera blanking issue round out the list. NHTSA holds 762 owner complaints — unverified reports — with seven crashes, one fire and four injuries. Unlike the 2018 car, these complaints center on power train (455) rather than engine (158), a shift worth noting alongside the transmission recall.
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.
- Look underneath for transmission fluid leaks or stains
- Tug the driver seat belt hard and check its anchor point
- Ask about shifting, shudder or hesitation and any transmission repairs
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
