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 wheel detachment recall applicability and completion before driving.
- Request steering column bolt and air bag weld recall repair records.
- Verify trailer brake repairs and ask about brake, steering, or fire incidents.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
