Buying a used 2026 Ford Expedition? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2026 Expedition has 2 recalls in this group, covering trailer brake and light failure and headlight failure. These make lighting and towing equipment the specific recall inspection priorities. The 11 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with unknown or other issues, steering, and wheels each listed in 4 reports, and electrical systems in 2. The complaint record lists 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries; those figures do not establish an individual vehicle's condition.
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 trailer brake and lighting recall completion.
- Confirm headlight recall status and demonstrate operation.
- Request inspection of steering and wheels.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
