Open vs completed recalls

An open recall may still need repair. A completed recall may already have been addressed by a dealer or manufacturer.

Recall data can change. Confirm open recall status with the manufacturer or authorized dealer before purchase.

A recall does not automatically make a car bad, but unresolved safety issues should affect your inspection plan.
