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.
- Verify transmission bolt recall completion and leak repair history.
- Request rear drive axle recall inspection or repair records.
- Verify both camera campaigns and check for image interruptions.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
