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 battery overheating recall status and current fast-charging instructions by VIN.
3. Request unintended-acceleration recall completion records.
4. Verify camera recall completion and check the reverse image.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
