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 blower motor and block heater fire-risk recall repairs.
- Confirm shifter cable bolt and unexpected Park exit recall completion.
- Review passenger belt, tail light, camera, and tire label corrections.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
