Buying a used 2022 Ford F-53? Check these 2 recalls first
This motorhome chassis has only two recalls, but both hit fundamentals: a steering wheel that can detach and rear brake bolts that can loosen. Ford issued neither with a stop-driving or park-outside instruction, though both are the kind of work you want documented on paper before money changes hands. Only three owner complaints are on file with NHTSA — unverified reports — two of them about service brakes, 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.
- Run the chassis VIN for open recalls, specifically the steering wheel and rear brake bolt remedies
- Have the rear brakes inspected for bolt torque and signs of loosening
- Ask for chassis service history separate from any coach or house work
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
