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 fuel hose, parking brake cable, and applicable AWD driveshaft recall repairs.
- Confirm seat belt, side airbag, and applicable wheelchair restraint recall completion.
- Test the rearview camera and request seat, electrical, and steering repair 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.
