Buying a used 2021 Ford Expedition? Check these 12 recalls first
The 2021 Ford Expedition has 12 recalls in this group. An engine fire-risk campaign carries a park-outside instruction, so its VIN applicability and completion status are central checks. Side airbags, seat belts and the transmission Park system are also covered, alongside cameras, wiper arms and a detachable moonroof wind deflector. NHTSA records 232 unverified owner complaints, led by power train at 110 and engine at 55, with electrical system at 23. Console, manual and labeling corrections complete the record.
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 engine fire-recall completion and whether park-outside instructions still apply.
- Confirm side-airbag, seat-belt and Park-system repairs; request power-train service history.
- Check camera and wiper operation and confirm moonroof wind-deflector recall work.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
