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 engine-failure and rear-wheel-lockup recall completion by VIN.
- Request third-row seat-belt buckle-rivet recall repair records.
- Check daytime running lights and ask about fuel-system or 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.
