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 completion of the 12-volt battery cable and drive-power recalls.
- Request repair records for both rear seat belt campaigns.
- Ask about electrical warnings, braking problems, and steering concerns.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
