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 of the DC-DC converter recall remedy.
- Verify the required airbag warning label is present.
- Ask about drive loss, speed-control issues, and engine faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
