Buying a used 2025 Ford Expedition? Check these 6 recalls first
The 2025 Expedition has 6 recalls in this group. Engine oil leakage, airbag force, and loss of brake assist are the main concerns, alongside trailer brake and light failures and headlight failure. Its 38 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports. Unknown or other issues and forward collision avoidance each account for 8 reports, followed by steering at 7 and seats at 6. Those complaint areas warrant separate attention from documented recall completion.
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 oil leak and airbag recall completion by VIN.
- Request brake assist, trailer lighting, and headlight repair records.
- Ask about steering, seat, and collision warning problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
