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.
- Confirm completion of both listed power steering recall entries.
- Verify turn signal bulb recall repairs and operation.
- Ask about powertrain faults, electrical problems, and airbag warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
