Recall campaigns
NHTSA lists these campaigns as covering certain 2021 Ford Explorer vehicles. One campaign can list several components, so these do not sum to the 26 vehicle campaigns on record.

- Back Over Prevention7 campaigns36 distinct complaints
Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety recall at no cost to the owner — by repair, replacement or refund — for vehicles not more than 15 years old on the date the defect was determined.
Parts are sometimes on back-order and some remedies are interim, so a dealer may not be able to complete the work immediately. A specific vehicle’s current recall status is available through NHTSA’s VIN recall lookup.
Ford filed 292 other service communications for this model year, nearly all routine repair instructions. OAV lists only warranty extensions and service campaigns; routine bulletins are not listed.
These records describe the 2021 model-year, not any individual vehicle, and are not an inspection. One complaint can be recorded against more than one component, so counts do not sum to the model-year total. Service records for any component listed here are worth requesting from the seller. Showing 5 of 14 components with records above OAV’s publication floor — see all 14 for this model-year.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA. Mileage is self-reported and frequently rounded. Complaint records as of 2026-09-18. Recall records as of 2026-09-18.

Reported title-brand history on this vehicle (salvage, 1 accident). OAV indicator from reported history events — not an official title or NMVTIS report.
Is this 2021 Ford Explorer XLT a good deal?
OAV verdict: Unscored
Why: Listed at $22,400. This vehicle has a reported branded/salvage title; OAV does not assign a price-to-market verdict to branded-title vehicles. Listed 82 days · longer than most comparable local listings (typical ~15–75 days).
Market price position
This vehicle has a reported branded/salvage title, so OAV does not plot a price-to-market position for it — a branded car prices below clean-title comparables because of the title brand, not the market. Any comparable figures shown elsewhere on this page are clean-title reference only.
Branded-title price context: Branded-title Explorers like this typically sell ~26% below comparable clean-title vehicles. The market range shown above is for clean-title cars — this listing's price reflects branded-title history.
Branded-adjusted estimate: $9,486 – $21,343 (clean-title range scaled by the branded discount — an estimate, not an appraisal).
Comparable vehicles nationally recently sold in an estimated 16–59 days.

About This 2021 Ford Explorer

This used 2021 Ford Explorer XLT is listed at $22,400 by autosavvy gilbert in Gilbert, AZ 85233. It has 32,658 miles on the odometer (dealer-reported, not independently verified by OAV). The exterior color is Silver. It features a RWD drivetrain with a 2.3L I4 engine and Automatic transmission.
OAV does not assign a price-to-market verdict to branded-title vehicles. This listing has a reported branded/salvage title, so its price is not rated against clean-title market comparables.
This vehicle has been on the lot for 82 days.
Analysis powered by OAV's patented inventory standardization technology (U.S. Patent No. 12,236,477). Verdict methodology ptm-verdict-v1 · snapshot Sep 18, 2026. The patented comparable band is the input; ptm-verdict-v1 is the versioned OAV rule set that turns it into this verdict.
Market context
This listing is part of OAV's broader Gilbert, AZ suvs market analysis. OAV compares vehicles by local and regional price-to-market ranges and comparable count; days-on-lot and demand signals are shown separately, not as verdict inputs.
How this deal is rated
OAV compares this 2021 Ford Explorer against similar vehicles currently available for sale — same make, model, and year range, using trim where the data supports it. OAV does not adjust comparable prices for mileage; on used vehicles it withholds a verdict when mileage would distort the comparison — very high or unreliable mileage, or a lower price better explained by higher-than-typical mileage than by a genuine market discount — rather than overstate a deal. Based on where this listing falls in that comparable set, it is rated:
- Great Deal — priced below the comparable-range floor by a meaningful margin (OAV's minimum-gap rule); a listing below the floor by less than that margin is Fair Price.
- Fair Price — priced within the expected range for comparable vehicles.
- Overpriced — priced above the typical range for comparable vehicles.
Listings show OAV's PTM-derived deal quality and live market context. OAV-claimed dealers manage their listing profile and route buyer inquiries directly. Paid OAV partners can surface additional verification signals, but commercial participation never changes a listing's Price-to-Market verdict, eligibility, ranking, or confidence.
