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 VIN-specific recall completion and any applicable conversion or wheelchair restraint repairs.
- Request fuel pump, passenger seat sensor, and airbag repair records.
- Check camera and mirror condition; ask about electrical, engine, and collision-avoidance faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
