Buying a used 2019 Ford Fusion? Check these 3 recalls first

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 VIN applicability and completion of the battery module and block heater recalls.
- Test the rearview camera for blank images.
- Request engine, electrical system, and transmission repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
