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 VIN-specific completion of the tow-hook fuel-fire recall.
- Obtain records for both fuel-pump recall campaigns.
- Ask about stalling, braking faults and collision-avoidance alerts.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Lexus dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
