Buying a used 2018 Ford Expedition? Check these 14 recalls first
One critical recall covers a fuel pump that can leak; the rest concentrate on two themes — second-row seats that may not be secured or can shift, and park/rollaway problems tied to the 10-speed transmission — plus front seat belts that can lock up and a brake fluid leak. Among 374 unverified owner complaints, power train (146) and engine (98) dominate, with 25 injuries and eight crashes alleged.
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.
- Shift into Park on an incline and confirm the vehicle actually holds without rolling.
- Pull and latch each second-row seat to check it locks firmly and doesn't shift.
- Ask for 10-speed transmission service history and check brake fluid level and lines for leaks.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
