Buying a used 2023 Ford F-450 SD? Check these 13 recalls first
Two critical recalls stand out: front wheels that can detach, carrying a stop-driving warning, and steering column bolts that may be missing. A driver airbag that may be disconnected is also serious, since it can go unnoticed until a crash. The remainder are visibility and convenience items — an instrument display that may go dark, power windows that may not reverse, and three backup camera campaigns. Five unverified NHTSA complaints, one involving fire, cluster in service brakes and steering.
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.
- Run the VIN for the steering column bolt and front-wheel recalls before test driving
- Confirm the airbag warning light cycles normally and ask if the airbag recall was performed
- Check the reverse camera image and the instrument display on a cold start
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
