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 VIN-specific completion records for every applicable side and roof airbag recall.
- Verify block heater cord recall work and inspect for cord damage.
- Confirm rear fuel tank recall completion and ask about stalling or fuel-system 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.
