The seat issue concerns a physical assembly, while the manual recall concerns access to vehicle information.

The complaint record also lists 2 crashes and 2 injuries without establishing their causes.
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.
- Request documentation that the front seat weld recall was addressed.
- Verify the electronic owner's manual is present and accessible.
- Ask about electrical, power train, and forward collision warning faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
