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. Confirm applicable fuel tank recall repairs and ask about stalling.
3. Obtain completion records for both block heater cord campaigns.
4. Verify seat belt retractor and side airbag recall completion.
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.
