Buying a used 2020 Ford Expedition? Check these 18 recalls first
The standout is a fuse box fire risk that carries a park-outside advisory until repair — the only such item on this year's list. Occupant-sensing recalls also appear: a passenger seat belt sensor that may misread an occupant and a system that can mistake a child for an adult. Power train leads 408 unverified owner complaints at 257, with seven fires and 23 injuries 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.
- Confirm in writing that the fuse box fire recall is closed, since it carried a park-outside advisory.
- Check the passenger airbag status light behaves correctly with an empty seat and with a load in it.
- Ask about transmission and shifting history — power train is by far the top complaint area here.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
