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.
- Obtain VIN-specific passenger air bag recall completion records.
- Verify switch recall completion and test reverse lights and camera.
- Inspect windshield and wipers; ask about collision-avoidance warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Subaru dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
