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 battery recall completion records and power-loss software repair history.
- Verify brake hose, booster rod, and rear suspension bolt recall completion.
- Check airbag repair records, screen and camera operation, and child-seat belt locking.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Porsche dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
