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 brake pedal, battery wiring, and steering wheel recall completion by VIN.
3. Request records addressing power steering loss or steering repairs.
4. Check warning displays, defroster, backup camera, and tailgate latch.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
