Buying a used 2021 Ford F-59? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 4 owner complaints on file

The 2021 chassis carries the same loose steering shaft bolt and rear axle failure recalls as 2020, plus a third critical item: fuel tanks that may rust on E-350, E-450 and F-59 chassis. That makes three serious, safety-related repairs to confirm on one vehicle. Owner reporting is thin — four unverified NHTSA complaints, mostly engine, with no crashes, fires or injuries reported — a small sample to read much into.

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. Get recall completion proof for the steering shaft bolt.
3. Inspect the fuel tank for rust and confirm the tank recall remedy.
4. Verify the rear axle recall was performed on this chassis VIN.
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.
