I purchased my 2005 Ford E-450 school bus a couple of weeks ago from a vendor in New York. How can I find out if all safety recalls have been corrected?

Do you drive a 2005 FORD E-450?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
