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 both seat-trim and airbag-sensor recall repairs.
- Confirm completion of the stability control recall.
- Inspect bumper attachment and request brake-service records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
