Buying a used 2020 Ford Ranger? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 127 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Ford Ranger has 7 recalls in this group. The block heater fire risk and shift cable defect are key repair-history items, while rear seat interference with child seats and a misrouted front passenger belt warrant attention to seating equipment. Rearview image failures and incorrect tire capacity labeling are also listed. Its 127 owner complaints are unverified reports, led by power train concerns at 48, with engine at 16, unknown or other at 13, and electrical system at 11.

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 block heater and shift cable recall completion.
3. Confirm rear seat and front passenger belt recall corrections.
4. Check rearview images and verify the corrected tire capacity label.
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.
