How to check if a safety recall was completed for a used car

[Daviid]

Team,

We have just purchased a 2009 Prius 5DR i-Tech hatch. According the the great god Google there was a recall of this model shortly after it was released. So a few questions...

1. Should there be some sort of documentation with the logbook to indicate the repair was made?

2. Is there a register or some other place where we can check to see if the repair was made?

Thanks in advance

David

Any Toyota service department should be able to confirm by checking against the VIN.

Here are the recalls for Toyota http://www.recalls.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/952857

You haven't said which series you own. 2009 covers the change from NHW20 aka Gen II aka 2004-2009 model to the ZVW30 aka Gen III aka 2010 model from May 2009. (The 2012 facelift is still the ZVW30.)

The NHW20 had two recalls in November 2012.

The ZVW30 had a recall in February 2010.
