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 VIN-specific recall repairs for flywheel bolts, wheels, and neutral shifting.
- Request air tank bracket, side airbag, hubcap, and wiper recall completion records.
- Ask about engine cooling repairs and reported brake or air-system problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volvo dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
