Then make sure that, if the recall is valid for the particular car you are looking at has already been done.

If you buy the car and take it to a dealer for the recall, be prepared for two possible outcomes:

1) They screw up the car and cant get it fixed. (They can mess up anything when tearing into the car - including the Air Conditioning).
2) They find "non-covered safety issues not covered by warranty"; this will cost you. Only the airbag replacement is covered, if they find any issue that is 'safety related", depending on where you live, they can hold the car until you agree to pay up.

Others have encountered both issues.
