I just bought this van used and the owner told me she never took it in to have recalls 90v074000 and 91v040000 done. I have this van at the turner chevrolet, montrose, co and they say the vin IS invalid but the local title and car fax says it IS? I did a transliteration and the 9TH digit didnt match the remainder so thus IS invalid. I need to have the recall work done!
