Buying a used 2019 Ford F-150? Check these 9 recalls first

9 NHTSA recalls · 43 owner complaints on file

The 2019 F-150 has a shorter list than the prior year: two block heater fire-risk recalls, a battery cable bolt that can loosen and stall the engine, and seat backs that may be dangerously weak. The rest are visibility items — daytime running lights that stay too bright or fail to dim, two backup camera recalls — plus a missing dashboard airbag warning label. Owners filed 43 unverified NHTSA complaints with no crashes, fires or injuries; 36 involve the power train, five the engine.

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. Confirm the battery cable bolt recall was performed and check for stalling history
3. Test the backup camera and headlights, including the daytime running light brightness
4. Ask whether the seat back recall remedy was completed on both front seats
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.
