Buying a used 2023 Ford Expedition? Check these 8 recalls first
The 2023 Ford Expedition has 8 recalls in this group. Axle-pinion fracture, brake-line damage and trailer brake or light failure are the main mechanical and towing concerns. Camera freezing and breakable wiper arms affect visibility equipment, while console edges, head-restraint instructions and an airbag warning label round out the list. NHTSA records 65 unverified owner complaints, including 17 for electrical system, 11 for power train and 6 for engine. Repair documentation should address both recall completion and reported operating problems.
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 axle-pinion and brake-line recall completion; request related drivetrain repair records.
- Confirm trailer-brake and trailer-lighting recall work and test the trailer connection.
- Check the camera and wipers; ask about electrical faults and engine repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
