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 tube, fuel pump lock ring, and bearing recall status.
- Confirm tire and brake light switch recall repairs.
- Check camera operation and ask about electrical and collision-warning faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
