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 completion of both seat belt fire recall campaigns.
3. Request passenger airbag recall repair documentation.
4. Ask about steering faults, electrical warnings and brake 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.
