Buying a used 2019 Ford F-250 SD? Check these 12 recalls first
Steering dominates the 2019 F-250's record. A recalled steering stabilizer kit can lock the steering, and five of eight unverified NHTSA complaints name steering, with four naming suspension; none reports crashes, fires or injuries. Other recalls cover a seat belt that can spark, a block heater cord fire risk, a driveshaft that may break, rolling after shifting into Park, and tires that may fail. Camera, tailgate and lighting items make up the medium-severity group.
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 whether a steering stabilizer kit was ever installed and if the recall was addressed
- Drive at highway speed listening for driveshaft vibration or steering wander
- Confirm the tailgate latches securely and the backup camera works without fogging
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
