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.
- Obtain VIN-specific completion records for seat belt, battery cable, and tire recalls.
- Verify brake assist, stability control, and spare tire ABS recall work.
- Ask for engine, transmission, and driveshaft inspection and repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
