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. Verify fuel pump, heater cable, and seat belt pretensioner recall repairs.
3. Request gear-selection, park retention, and brake leak repair records.
4. Check tailgate latching and identify installed tires and aftermarket ball joints.
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.
