NHTSA recalls: verify this VIN

A recall that applies to a model is not proof that a specific car has an open recall. Whether this VIN is affected, and whether the repair was done, is shown by NHTSA's VIN lookup. Check it before you bid.

NHTSA campaigns listed for this generation when it was researched (2026-10-24): 21V938000, 23V038000, 25V893000, 23V526000, 23V556000, 24V412000, 24V691000, 24V877000, 25V549000, 25V809000, 26V316000, 26V400000, 26V047000, 26V254000, 26V692000. The list may be out of date.

Manufacturer bulletins (TSBs)

Technical service bulletins are the manufacturer's own guidance to its dealers. A bulletin is not a recall and does not mean a repair is free. Coverage depends on the manufacturer's terms and the VIN.
