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 and suspension-arm recall remedies; review related repairs.
- Confirm steering recall completion and ask about steering or electrical faults.
- Obtain completion records for both airbag recalls and check warning lights.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Toyota dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
