Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Request fuel-line, clutch, and gear-shifting recall repair records.
3. Verify fifth-wheel, tire, and air-tank strap bolt recall completion.
4. Check window recall records and weight labels; ask about suspension issues.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
