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 completion of the lug-nut and engine-stalling recalls.
- Confirm the automatic-braking recall repair and ask about unexpected braking.
- Check restraint warning lights, head-restraint locks and mirror attachment.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Mazda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
