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 shifter-cable recall repairs for this VIN.
- Ask for cooling-fan and electrical repair records.
- Confirm applicable airbag, seat-lock, and camera recall completion.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any RAM dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
