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.
- Verify all applicable fuel pump and engine-stall recalls are completed.
- Obtain repair records for the transmission Park and windshield recalls.
- Check camera and wiper operation and request recall completion records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
