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 driveshaft weld and rear axle shaft recall repair records.
- Verify cluster startup and speed-display recall completion.
- Check trailer brakes, trailer lights, headlights, and tailgate cables.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
