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.
- Identify conversion history and verify applicable steering and brake repairs.
- Verify VIN-specific fuel-pump recall completion.
- Check alloy-wheel recall status and ask about shifting 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.
