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. Confirm completion of each applicable fuel pump campaign.
3. Request driveshaft and brake fluid recall repair records.
4. Ask about fuel gauge errors and recurring brake symptoms.
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.
