Buying a used 2020 Ford F-59? Check these 2 recalls first
This is a stripped chassis, so its record reflects the frame underneath a motorhome or delivery body rather than a finished vehicle. Two recalls stand out and both are chassis-critical: a steering shaft bolt that may be loose, and a rear axle that can fail on F-53 and F-59 chassis. The five unverified owner complaints are few but pointed — all five cite suspension, two the power train — 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.
- Ask for proof the steering shaft bolt recall was completed.
- Verify the F-53/F-59 rear axle recall against the chassis VIN.
- Inspect the suspension and ask about ride or handling complaints.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
