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 all 4 recall campaigns.
- Confirm whether park-outside instructions remain in effect.
- Ask about electrical faults, brake problems, and oil leaks.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Genesis dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
