Official recalls: ask before you pay

A recall existing does not mean this car is affected or that it is still outstanding: it depends on the chassis number, the market and the production date.

  1. Ask the seller for the chassis number (VIN): it has 17 characters, appears in the car's documents and can usually also be seen at the base of the windscreen.
  2. Ask an official Ford dealer, or the brand's official website if it lets you check by chassis number, whether each recall has been done or is still outstanding for that VIN.
  3. Manufacturer recalls are normally carried out free of charge by the official service network. If one is outstanding, ask for it to be done before you close the sale.

Known weak points

  • Look out for: Sudden loss of power when overtaking with a warning light on; with the PowerShift gearbox, rough shifts, reverse that will not engage, judder when pulling away, gearbox oil leaks and limp mode; a “check adaptive headlights” warning; a tailgate that opens by itself.

    Ask them to check: Read the codes and check the oil-pressure switch; test the PowerShift cold and hot and look for leaks; the guide recommends changing the gearbox oil every 50,000–60,000 km. Check both recalls by VIN.

DPF / EGR / turbo / flywheel

  • Look out for: Particulate filter warning and power loss; rough idle from a dirty EGR; vibration and knocks when starting or in low gears (dual-mass flywheel); smoke or hesitation from injectors at high mileage.

    Ask them to check: Read the DPF status and additive level, check the EGR and cooler, check the dual-mass flywheel at start-up and measure injector balance rates.
