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.
- Request documentation of the key ignition recall repair.
- Verify camera recall completion and test the backup image.
- Ask about brake and suspension symptoms and repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
