A car recall is when the vehicle manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) deems that a model of vehicle has a safety-related defect or that it does not follow Federal safety regulations. As a result the vehicle manufacturer will alert owners of the recall, and offer free repairs. It is also important to note that a safety recall does not imply that the entire vehicle will be replaced. More often than not, only the defective part or parts are what will be replaced. If you receive a letter from your vehicle manufacturer about a recall, it will contain:

• A description of the defect on your vehicle
• The potential hazard or danger the defect can cause
• Warning signs of your vehicle having the defect
• How your manufacturer plans to fix the issue, which should also include
  • When repairs are available
  • How long the repair is likely to take
• Instructions with how to proceed

At Ewald Automotive Group, we are glad to take care of your vehicle's needs. One easy way to check your vehicle for recalls is with the NHTSA, which you can find by clicking the link.
