Buying a used 2020 Ford Fusion? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 178 owner complaints on file

The recall list mirrors the 2019 car: a plug-in-hybrid battery control module fire risk, the Ford and Lincoln engine block heater fire risk, and a rearview camera that may go blank. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. NHTSA shows 178 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, and here powertrain leads at 66 ahead of engine and electrical — a different emphasis from 2019. Ten crashes, three fires and five injuries are noted in that complaint file.

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. Ask whether the car is the plug-in hybrid and whether the battery control module recall is closed
3. Verify the engine block heater recall status by VIN
4. Drive it long enough to feel for transmission or driveline behavior, given powertrain tops the complaints
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.
