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 completion of the fuel pump recall work by VIN.
3. Request proof of the brake master cylinder recall repair.
4. Confirm both passenger seat sensor and front passenger airbag recall completion.
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.
