Braking and rear passenger restraint operation are the specific recall priorities.

These complaint areas warrant service-history review alongside documentation that the applicable brake and seat belt repairs were completed.
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 VIN-specific rear brake recall completion.
- Confirm rear seat belt recall repairs and locking operation.
- Ask for records of power train faults and electrical 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.
