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 engine failure and wheel lockup recall completion records.
- Verify sport bar brake light and daytime running light recall repairs.
- Confirm grille deflector recall work and ask about structural or exterior repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any GMC dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
