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.
- Confirm completion of every applicable side and roof airbag inflator campaign.
- Verify block heater cord recall repairs and ask about overheating.
- Request records for stalling, fuel-system faults, and power-train 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.
