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. Verify blower motor and block heater fire-risk recall repairs.
  3. Confirm shifter cable bolt and unexpected Park exit recall completion.
  4. Review passenger belt, tail light, camera, and tire label corrections.
  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.
