Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify battery recall completion and applicable park-outside instructions by VIN.
3. Request repair records for both seat belt fire campaigns.
4. Verify rear brake and rear door recall repairs.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
