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 completion of the center belt locking recall.
- Request passenger seat sensor and airbag recall repair records.
- Ask about collision-avoidance warnings, engine symptoms, and electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
