Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify VIN-specific brake-assist and transmission recall completion.
- Request side-airbag recall repair documentation.
- Check daytime running light operation and ask about electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
