Recall history for a specific vehicle

[pbm261]

I have had my 21 F150 Platinm PB for 2 weeks now. CarFax displays no recalls found. Is there a way to check the truck's recall history?
Every vehicle I've owned, I could see the recall and when it was repaired, not this one.

Post or DM your VIN. I can check if there are any open recalls or FSA's on your truck.

A willing Ford dealer can print out the service history which will include all closed (repair completed) recalls for a Ford VIN since those must be closed by a Ford dealer and are therefore entered in the VIN's service history maintained by Ford and available to all dealers.

I'm not aware of any free public online resource listing closed recalls for a VIN. Open recalls can of course be searched through the Ford Owners website or NHTSA based on VIN.

Better to check the NHTSA website and enter your truck VIN there. Most recalls are initiated on a voluntary basis and so the TSBs are more important to check for your truck.

FordPass will show if there are any open recalls as well

I was wondering if someone would mention.

OP's looking for the recall history that's been performed. It's a 2021 that he's had for 2 weeks, so I am assuming OP purchased it pre-owned.

But wouldn't FordPass still show unperformed recalls?

Yes, but it won't show recalls performed and completed prior to him getting the truck. Once it gets updated in Ford's PTS, the notification that a recall is pending goes away in Fordpass. When I look at my service history in Ford pass, it'll say oil change and broad things like "electrical" and in some cases it says "unknown", but it does not get into specifics as to what has been performed on the truck. It mentions nothing of the three recalls I did have addressed at the dealer.
