Buying a used 2019 Ford Transit Connect? Check these 8 recalls first

Shifter cable problems, airbag propellant, roof panel attachment, and a blank rearview camera image also appear.

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 completion of transmission leak, cooling software, and overheating recalls.
- Request shifter cable, airbag, roof panel, and camera recall records.
- Ask about brake problems and obtain brake inspection records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Ford dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
