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.
- Request engine bearing recall and engine repair documentation.
- Verify completion of both listed fuel pump campaigns.
- Confirm passenger seat sensor and airbag recall repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Acura dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
