Most recent first. Recall repairs are free at any authorised dealer. Click a recall for the full defect, consequence and remedy text.

  1. Engine (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 71V235000 Reported 6,682,084 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    There is a possibility that a separated motor mount may allow the engine to lift, which may affect the throttle linkage, momentarily increasing throttle, possibly to full throttle.

    Remedy: Inspect engine mounts and install restraints which will limit engine lift and eliminate possible secondary effects to the throttle linkage due to engine mount separation.

  2. Manifold/header/muffler/tail pipe (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 69V030000 Reported 2,570,914 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

    Exhaust emissions (carbon monoxide) may enter the interior of the vehicle when the exhaust pipe is substantially out the design position, deteriorated from use, or when an opening in the body develops near the exhaust outlet and, at the same time, a negative air pressure occurs in the vehicle interior.

    Remedy: Reseal nearby body joints and replace the draw plug in the body which was used to remove surplus bonderizing solution during manufacture.

  3. Idler and attachment (steering)

    NHTSA 67V098000 Reported 1,143,000 vehicles potentially affected GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

Checking a specific 1965 Chevrolet Belair

How do I know if my 1965 Chevrolet Belair has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN above. The VIN is on the driver's side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver's door jamb sticker, and your registration or insurance card. The check runs against NHTSA's live database and tells you which campaigns list your vehicle. 3 campaigns currently list the 1965 Chevrolet Belair; your car may already have been repaired under some of them.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Under federal law, manufacturers must fix safety recalls at no charge for vehicles up to 15 years old from the date of sale to the first owner. Contact any authorised Chevrolet dealer with your VIN and the NHTSA campaign number (for example 67V098000).

What is the difference between a recall and a complaint?

A recall is a safety campaign filed by the manufacturer or ordered by NHTSA, with a defined defect and remedy. A complaint is a report an owner sent to NHTSA; it is not verified, but patterns of complaints are what trigger NHTSA investigations and, eventually, recalls.
