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 software, buckle, and rim-label recalls.
3. Inspect liftgate supports and confirm recall repairs.
4. Ask for engine, air bag, and electrical repair 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.
