Buying a used 2019 Ford F-550? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 14 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Ford F-550 has 4 recalls in this group: block heater cable corrosion, front seat recliner failure, unintended first responder brake light activation, and a reversed backup camera image. The heater cable and seat recliner issues warrant particular attention in repair records. NHTSA lists 14 unverified owner complaints, with engine 5, structure 4, electrical system 3, and steering 2. Those reports include 1 crash and 3 fires, with 0 injuries; they do not establish a connection to the recalls.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify heater cable and front seat recliner recall repairs.
3. Check camera image orientation and applicable first responder brake lights.
4. Ask about engine, electrical, steering, and structural repair history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
