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 brake sensor recall completion and current park-outside instructions.
- Request rear wheel lug nut and rear axle bolt recall records.
- Check ABS warning light operation and ask about brake or fuel-system repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
