Buying a used 2018 Ford Expedition? Check these 14 recalls first
The 2018 Ford Expedition has 14 recalls in this group. Fuel-pump weld fractures, brake-fluid leakage and failures involving Park or rollaway stand out, with several seat-belt and seating campaigns also requiring documentation. Window operation, shift indication and console edges are additional concerns; manual and label corrections are administrative items. NHTSA lists 374 unverified owner complaints, led by power train at 146 and engine at 98. Transmission and engine repair records therefore merit review alongside restraint and brake recall work.
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 fuel-pump, brake-fluid-leak and Park-system recall completion by VIN.
- Request transmission and engine repair records, including shift-indicator complaints.
- Confirm seat-belt and second-row seat repairs; check belt movement and seat latching.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
