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

3 NHTSA recalls · 178 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Ford Fusion has 3 recalls in this group: plug-in hybrid battery module fire risk, block heater fire risk, and blank rearview camera images. Recall applicability and documented remedies are central to evaluating the individual car. Its 178 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with power train accounting for 66, engine 49, electrical system 37, and unknown or other 26. Powertrain service history deserves attention alongside electrical repairs and a demonstration of the rearview camera.

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. Check VIN-specific battery module and block heater recall status.
3. Demonstrate rearview camera operation through repeated reverse selections.
4. Ask about shifting faults and engine or electrical repairs.
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.
