Before you buy
- 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.
- Verify VIN-specific completion of the brake pedal pin and passenger airbag recalls.
- Request power steering recall repair documentation.
- Ask about drivetrain faults, electrical warnings, and unexpected collision-avoidance braking.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
