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 all applicable recall repairs, including outlet wiring and engine bearings.
  3. Check sliding-door and seat belt latching; request brake and camera repair records.
  4. Ask about engine or shifting problems and Braun conversion fuel tank repairs, if applicable.
  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.
