anyone ever hear of a recall not being honored because the truck was purchaced in canada?????????

 

Yup

Canada VIN trucks are not in Oasis (fords computer)

Funny how much truck has no recalls??

My truck was made, leased and bought from Canada, dealer changed the cluster to MPH.

So I would like to find a way to fix this also !

 

my friend bought it used at a dealer in not sure if it was ny or pa. and the front seal went and there is a recall on it he called a dealership and they told him it was first purchaced in canada so it isnt under a recall

 

If U look at that this link U can see all the recalls for our trucks:

https://www.ford-trucks.com/recalls.html


My truck shows none of those listed, I find that strange.

Unless I have perfect truck !! (not likely)

 

and he was told it was going to cost like 1200 to fix seems a little steep to me

 

i found out here
http://www.alldata.com/recall/make/Ford_Truck.html

General Recalls
TSB Number Issue Date TSB Title 99B29 DEC 99 Campaign - Engine Front Cover Gasket Replacement

 

Sounds like U need to find another dealer !

 

he said he called 2 but i got the run around when i was having issues with the drivers side door cracking on my 99 f150

 

Morning folks...I am buying a '97 F150 XLT 4X4 Lariat this weekend.

If I take to my local stealership, can they look up my VIN and tell if it falls under any of the recalls and if any of the fixes have/have not been done?

If a required fix (or fixes) has not been done, do I have any recourse to get them done?

Any help is appreciated.

 

John a dealer can run what is called a Oasis computer check for open recalls and tells what recalls that have been done.

97 had lots of problems the first year, first year syndrome.

Good luck !

 

Thanks for the heads up on the Oasis check. I will make an appointment with the stealer after I have my wrenchhead go over the truck next week.
