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 the hood latch recall fix and check for hood or front-end damage
- Confirm the brake assist and driver seat belt recalls were completed
- Test the front trunk release button before buying
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
