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.
- Request VIN-specific fuel line, EGR cooler, and fuel pump recall status.
- Verify park lock, rollaway, cruise control, and brake module repairs.
- Inspect floor mat clearance and ask about stalling or electrical repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Jeep dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
