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 power-loss, steering rack, and airbag fastener recall completion.
- Request camera, stability warning light, and spoiler recall records.
- Inspect exterior lights and ask about electrical or engine problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Dodge dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
