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.
- Obtain fuel-line recall completion records and ask about fuel leaks or odors.
- Verify camera recall completion and check the displayed camera image.
- Ask for records of electrical, engine-cooling, and back-over-prevention 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.
