Recalls don't appear to be a problem. There was an open recall on the truck that showed up on the carfax I ran before purchasing it. It also showed up on my owner.ford.com account after I bought it. It was for the engine block heater and I took it to my local Ford dealer after buying it. They confirmed mine needs to be replaced and will fix it when they get the parts.

Thanks! This is the conclusion I came up with between talking to people here and calling Ford.

i just called Ford Corporate on 1/7/2021 and they said Canadian warranties are not valid in the US. Recalls are valid but not warranties. My local Ford dealer confirmed the same thing. They can look up Ford recalls on Canadian trucks but not warranty information. Or... Drive it to Canadian for warranty work and they can look it up... haha

Were(Canada) shipping thousands of trucks to the USA every month. 6 months in, were getting all our money back and they go state side, because of the dollar difference.. 3 people make money and we get a great trade in, been tough to find a good used low mile truck up in Ontario for a couple years now! Has to be 6 months old for export
Strange but true!

So far the I know of it's just Mopar that won't allow the warranty. Before this Ford I had a 2015 Ram from Canada. Didn't come with any warranty. All I have read, it was just Mopar. You should be good to go.

They could have been referring to an EXTENDED Canadian warranty as those will not be valid in the US. The factory truck warranty will though unless Ford changed something for model year trucks 2020 or 2021. I am getting my Canadian 2017 back from my local US dealer again today for warranty repairs, and this is the 4th warranty repair my local US dealer has done in the past 12 months.

I have a 2018 F150 40k miles. It was in for some warranty work (I think the wheel end unit is going bad). The dealer called and they say it has no warranty coverage and they think it is a transmission issue but they were pretty vague about it, something about needing to cycle solenoid and stuck valve. I asked for more details and they said it was hard to explain. I told them I would call ford and try to figure out what was going on with warranty.
I just spent a couple hours talking to consumer affairs, they sent me to Canadian consumer affairs, who sent me back to US consumer affairs who tried to contact the dealer, but they were closed by this time. I sure thought I had a warranty when I bought the truck and it is a little stressful to be told I do not. Hopefully it can be dealt with. I understand things break, but to be burned on a vehicle with this few miles (almost all of which are highway miles) would be pretty frustrating.


edit: After an inordinate amount of time and calling on multiple days they told me that the vehicle is 3 months out of date on the warranty. Weird that they could not figure that out before. They claimed before it is some international issue and now suddenly claim it is 3 months past the 5 year mark and they cannot do anything. In any case it doesn't address the international aspect at all of this thread, but the person on the phone the last time told me the Canada part was not an issue at all.
