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 coolant-leak recall completion and ask about coolant loss.
- Obtain brake-assist recall documentation and brake repair history.
- Verify suspension-arm recall completion and ask about fueling or propulsion problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
