What is an open recall?
An open recall is a safety recall that applies to your car and has not been repaired yet. Check yours with the VIN below.
Once a dealer completes the repair, the recall is closed for that VIN.
Used car dealers in most states can legally sell cars with open recalls, so buyers should check the VIN first.
