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 completion of both safety-system software recalls.
3. Confirm both liftgate recalls were addressed; inspect support condition.
4. Check rear buckle recall completion and request propulsion/brake records.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Mitsubishi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
