Buying a used 2019 Ford F-450? Check these 4 recalls first
Four recalls, led by a block heater cord that can catch fire and front seat backs Ford flagged as potentially weak; neither was issued with a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Two smaller ones cover a reversed backup camera image on LGE Coachworks-converted trucks and rear lights that shine too brightly. NHTSA has 19 owner complaints on file — unverified reports — concentrated in steering (8) and suspension (5), with one injury and no crashes or fires 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.
- Get repair orders showing the block heater cord recall was completed
- Confirm the seat back remedy was performed and ask if it is an LGE Coachworks conversion
- Test-drive for steering and suspension symptoms, the two largest complaint areas
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
