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 VIN-specific completion of both steering-related airbag recalls.
- Confirm seat-back and bumper repairs; check locking and attachment.
- Confirm camera and accessory weight label recall corrections.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
