Moderate severity
Whole generationSingle sourceEvidence: Limited confidence

Symptom

Why it matters
The official record identifies a condition that deserves candidate-specific inspection and record verification.

What to inspect

  • Check the VIN for open NHTSA actions, then ask the inspector to test the named system and document the result.

Pro check: Independent pre-purchase inspection.

Mitigation

  • Treat the official record as a targeted inspection lead, not proof that this candidate has the condition.
