Buying a used 2019 Ford Fiesta? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2019 Ford Fiesta has 3 recalls in this group, covering brake caliper dragging and two rearview camera blank-image campaigns. NHTSA lists 100 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, with 13 crashes, 1 fire, and 9 injuries reported. Leading categories include back over prevention at 30, power train at 21, unknown or other at 15, and service brakes at 11. Camera visibility and braking appear in both the recall subjects and complaint categories; power train reports add another area to review.
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 brake caliper recall completion and ask about brake dragging.
- Confirm both camera campaigns are addressed and check image operation.
- Request power train diagnostic and repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
