Buying a used 2020 Ford Expedition? Check these 18 recalls first

18 NHTSA recalls · 408 owner complaints on file · 1 park-outside

The 2020 Ford Expedition has 18 recalls in this group. The battery fire-risk campaign includes a park-outside instruction, making its applicability and repair status especially important. Other campaigns cover shifting and Park, seat belts and sensors, seat hardware, collision assistance, cameras and wipers. NHTSA lists 408 unverified owner complaints, including 257 for power train, 51 for engine and 35 for seat belts. Manual, label and console-edge corrections accompany the mechanical, restraint and electronic issues.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Check battery fire-recall status and whether the park-outside instruction remains applicable.
  3. Verify shift-cable and Park-system repairs; request transmission and engine service records.
  4. Confirm restraint and collision-assist recall work; check cameras and wipers.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
