This may have been discussed on here before but if you need to find out if recalls have been done to your vette just go to GM website and look for chat. Have your vin ready and the can look it up.

I tried it. Got some bad news. My recall for the Steering Lock column has never been fixed and the recall is now expired. Also, my top has been replaced twice. I know I am happy with my top now. In wonder what ws going

Thanks for suggestion. This could be a great buying and selling tool.

This is no good if you have a 10 year or older vette.

They could not help me because I was not the original owner. They referred me to my local dealership.

hmmm, don't know, I'm not the original owner either. Maybe it just depends on which tech you happen to get.

Same here. Talked to Miranda and got the same response. Dumb part is if I was original owner I would (or should) know what service had been done. Oh well.

I tried it today and what a waste of time, for me at least. I knew more about the car's past than the GM guy knew. And he says he cannot divulge info about the car because I'm not the original owner. Go figure.
