Buying a used 2018 Ford Taurus? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 48 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Ford Taurus has 4 recalls in this group. A key removable outside Park and a rear toe link that may fracture are the principal mechanical concerns; detachable door trim and blank rearview camera images round out the record. Its 48 owner complaints are unverified reports, with structure and back over prevention categories each recording 11, unknown or other 8, and suspension 7. The complaint areas make trim condition, camera operation, and documented suspension recall work particularly relevant during an inspection.

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 the key-removal-outside-Park recall repair.
3. Obtain rear toe link recall completion records.
4. Inspect door trim attachment and check rearview camera operation.
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.
