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 completion of both steering/air bag recall campaigns by VIN.
- Request child seat anchor and rear axle shaft recall repair records.
- Ask about steering problems, electrical faults, or air bag 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.
