What is a Vehicle Recall?

A vehicle recall occurs when a manufacturer discovers a safety defect or non-compliance with safety standards in their vehicles. When this happens, they issue a recall notice to fix the problem at no cost to owners.

Why Check for Recalls?

Checking for vehicle recalls is important because:

  • Safety issues could put you and passengers at risk
  • Unaddressed recalls may affect your vehicle's performance
  • Repairs are completely free - don't miss out
  • Buying a car? Check it doesn't have outstanding recalls
