Buying a used 2026 Ford F-59? Check these 2 recalls first
As a current-model chassis, this one has a short history: two recalls and a single unverified owner complaint, so there is little pattern to read. The critical item is a front hub that may be missing its spindle nut — a wheel-end assembly issue — alongside a brake-light circuit that can stay on. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction, but the hub recall is the one to confirm was performed.
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.
- Confirm the front hub spindle nut recall was completed before delivery.
- Watch whether the brake lights stay on with the pedal released.
- Ask what dealer or upfitter work has been done since the chassis was built.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
