It wouldn’t have to be reported to car fax which is typically done by the insurance company. In the case of shipping damage it’s usually fixed by the dealer, reimbursed by Ford and then Ford deals with it. I don’t think you realize how many cars are damaged in shipping or port. I had a 120k bmw that had the door repainted due to port damage and it didn’t show up on any report. The only reason I knew was because of the delay of me getting it once I knew it was in port and the fact my dealer had a connection at port.For this...yes it would definitely be going into CarFax.
Not everything goes into Carfax even if it's an accident by someone else. Seen plenty of minor things get fixed & never reported, like a minor scuff/ding/paint job & so on. If a body panel needs replaced or something else then you'll more than likely see a CarFax since you're replacing original parts that don't fall into regular replacement like tires, brakes, etc or things like dent repair etc.
