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.
- Request battery cable fastener and starter cable nut recall repair records.
- Verify shift cable repairs and ask about gear-selection problems.
- Inspect the spare tire and test wipers, camera, lights, and seat recliners.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
