Buying a used 2018 Ford F-250 SD? Check these 10 recalls first
This 2018 F-250 Super Duty has 10 open recalls, including two critical fire-risk items covering heater cables and seat belts, plus high-severity driveshaft fracture and damage recalls and a tire-failure recall. Several medium recalls address daytime running lights, tailgate latching, and rearview camera clarity. NHTSA shows 1 owner complaint on file, an unverified report, with no crashes, fires, or injuries noted; it was logged under power train and structure categories. Recall completion varies by vehicle and should be confirmed individually.
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.
- Ask for recall completion records on the heater cable and seat belt fire-risk recalls
- Inspect the driveshaft and its insulators for the loose-insulator and fracture recalls
- Check tire condition and date codes against the tire-failure recall
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
