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 VIN recall completion for cluster and speed display issues.
- Check trailer brake, trailer light, and headlight operation.
- Ask about power train problems and inspect wheel condition.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
