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. Check whether the wheelchair-van transmission recall applies to this VIN.
3. Verify airbag software and side airbag wiring recall completion.
4. Ask about electrical faults, transmission leaks, and powertrain 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.
