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 all applicable fuel pump and system software recall repairs.
- Request buckle, passenger airbag, and backup camera recall records.
- Ask about engine faults, fuel-system symptoms, and collision-avoidance events.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
