Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Verify VIN-specific driveshaft and fuel pump recall completion.
3. Request brake fluid contamination recall repair records.
4. Ask about inaccurate fuel readings, stalling, or braking problems.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
