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 fuel-pump recall completion and ask about stalling or starting problems.
- Confirm the corrected load-capacity label is installed.
- Request suspension and airbag repair history; check reversing alerts and camera operation.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lexus dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
