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 engine bolt and starter-cover recall repairs by VIN.
3. Request proof of airbag and seat belt anchor recall completion.
4. Test the rearview camera and ask about electrical or collision-avoidance faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Hyundai dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
