VEHICLE RECALLS

Follow along to learn more about safety recalls and best practices for handling a recall. 

What is a vehicle recall? When your vehicle, equipment, car seat, etc. is subject to a recall, a safety defect has been identified that affects you. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) monitors each recall to ensure that owners receive safe, free, and effective remedies from manufacturers per Federal regulations and the Safety Act.

How do I find out if there is a recall? Vehicle manufacturers will notify whomever the vehicle is registered to when there is a safety recall. If you miss a safety recall or want to make sure that your vehicle does not have a recall simply check out the NHTSA website. All you need is your VIN to look up any recalls your vehicle may have. The NHTSA VIN search tool will show you an unrepaired vehicle affected by a vehicle safety recall in the past 15 calendar years!
