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 documentation resolving the wheel-stud recall.
- Verify completion of the front parking-light recall.
- Ask about steering, lane-assistance, or powertrain problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Tesla dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
