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 center belt, passenger seat sensor, and airbag recall completion.
- Request fuel pump recall repair documentation.
- Ask about steering, collision-warning, and electrical faults or repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
