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 a VIN-specific completion history for all applicable recalls.
- Verify seat, seat belt, and third-row buckle repairs.
- Review engine, fuel pump, driveshaft, steering, and brake 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.
