Im just curious if there are any GM recalls for 97' vetts other than the steering lock problem.

There are no recalls for a 1997 outstanding. Even the column lock recall has expired.

A dealer can tell you what recalls were issued for a car (based on the VIN) and which were performed .... if any recalls were missed the current vehicle owner would have to pay to have them applied.

I purchased a new 97 in May of 97. When I sold it in June 2003 it had 4 recall stickers pasted on it. There was a recall for the early 97s that required cars to be flat bedded to the dealer but my car had the fix installed at the factory. Two of my recalls were installed within the first 3 months. They were seat belt and fuel tank related. The last recall was seat belt related. Can't remember what the other one was for.
