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 software and fuel pump recall completion.
- Request buckle and passenger airbag recall repair records.
- Ask about engine, electrical, and fuel-system symptoms.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
