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 software, power-loss, and fuel pump recall completion by VIN.
- Request passenger seat sensor and airbag recall repair records.
- Ask about electrical faults and collision-avoidance warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
