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.
- Confirm fuel leak, turbo oil leak, and tow hitch recall repair status.
- Verify loss-of-drive-power recall completion and review transmission repair records.
- Test the rearview camera and ask about intermittent electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
