You’ve purchased a new vehicle in Aiea, HI, and are very happy with it. Suddenly, you received a vehicle recall notice in the mail. What does this mean, and should you be worried? A vehicle recall occurs when a vehicle is said to have one or more safety issues as determined by the NHTSA. The issue can be something small or something large, but it needs to be repaired as soon as possible.
In order for a recall to take place, the issue must have occurred in several vehicles of the same year, make, and model, and it must pose a safety risk. Once you receive a recall notice in the mail, all you have to do is call the manufacturer to set up an appointment to get the vehicle repaired at no cost to you. Drivers concerned about any recalls their vehicle might have can go to the manufacturer’s website. If there are any recalls on the vehicle, they will be listed on the website.
