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 airbag and stability recall repair documentation.
- Verify gear indication and instrument display recall completion.
- Check trailer tow module repairs and request brake-system diagnostic records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
