The recall record therefore includes both transmission hardware and restraint concerns. NHTSA lists 404 owner complaints, which are unverified reports.

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 the transmission bolt recall repair and ask about leaks.
- Verify completion of both airbag recalls by VIN.
- Request service records for shifting problems and electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
