Buying a used 2019 Ford F-450 SD? Check these 9 recalls first
Two recalls here involve fire risk — a block heater cord and seat belt sparks that can start a fire — and one covers trucks that may roll after being shifted into park. The rest are lower-stakes: a tailgate that can open on its own, daytime running lights that stay too bright, and several separate backup camera campaigns, including cameras that fog. Only three unverified owner complaints are on file with NHTSA, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported.
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.
- Confirm the block heater and seat belt fire recalls were performed, and ask if the block heater is used
- Shift into park on an incline and confirm the truck holds without rolling
- Cycle the backup camera for a fogged, blank or delayed image, and test the tailgate latch
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
