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 completion of both brake-fluid fire recalls and applicable park-outside guidance.
- Ask for brake-fluid leak and brake-system repair records.
- Check backup camera operation and recall completion.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
