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 brake master cylinder, fuel pump, and rear subframe recall repairs.
- Request passenger sensor, airbag, hood latch, and tonneau cover recall records.
- Test the rearview camera and inspect mirror glass; ask about electrical and engine 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.
