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 battery campaign completion and applicable park-outside instructions.
- Request records for both seat belt fire recall repairs.
- Confirm airbag bolt and passenger airbag recall completion.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
