Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify steering gearbox recall completion and ask about steering difficulty.
3. Request driver's seat frame recall records and check for seat movement.
4. Ask about lane departure, collision avoidance, and electrical warning history.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
