Question:
I recently bought a 97 honda accord with 120,XXX miles on it. The dealer got the car from an auction and has none of the services or maintenance history so I don't know what recall service has been done. Do dealers update a national database by VIN detailing what recall service has already been performed on a car? I'd like to have a record of this and also get any recall service that has yet to be performed.
Thanks

If it is a "recall" you need done, then the dealer *should* perform the service regardless of any other history. However there are limitations on recalls and those depend on whether it was a voluntary manufacturer recall, or a NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration). The NHTSA on requires manufactures to service their recalls for a period of 10 years.What other fuel problems would it be if my suv isnt getting gas?
Now if its a "TSB" (Technical Service Bulletin) then the dealer will not perform the service for free if the vehicle is out of warranty, however they will often times perform the service at a discounted rate. Again, it depends on the dealer.
All work done at a dealership, maintenance, TSB, recall, or otherwise should be recorded an available to any dealership in the manufacturer's line. I cannot speak about Honda, but I do know that Ford will print and give you this information for free.

yes the dealer will do recalls on your car. they can check for old recalls by vin and know what has been done.How to replace the alternator belt on a 91 Mercury Capri?
It depends on the manufacturer. Chrysler, for instance has a website that allows you to input the last 8 digits of your VIN to determine whether any recall work was not done on the car. I'd be surprised if Honda didn't, as this is only the only way to track recalls, by the VIN of the vehicle. I'd call a local dealer, and have your VIN handy.I have a Voyager '95 Transmission question?
no they dont care about previous history they are only concerned about the effected recall. if they see something that needs to be fixed they will tell you about it . yes data is worldwide off your VIN number. so if the car was in california and auctioned off to someone in new york the dealer could still see if it has been in for service in either state or anywhere else in the world.Any procedure that is a mandated recall through the NHTSA or the automobile manufacturer will need to be complated regardless of the age or milage of the vehicle. The dealer should also place stickers under the hood of the car indicating which recalls have been performed on the vehicle.
My car i leaning to the left a little bit from the back view and right in the front view... Help?
its not the dealer that submits a recall, its the manufacturer. Your vehicle is being recalled for an issue that not only effects your car, but many others. your maint. records have no bearing.The auto manufacturers keep a list of recalls done on cars, so they can prove they have done it. The recalls is an expense to them so they need the info more than you do.
