Finding Vehicle Recall Information in Chula Vista

Bonita Point Auto Care 76  • April 11, 2022

No matter how well they’re made, vehicles will have design or manufacturing problems. And when the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the manufacturer to issue a recall notice and fix the car free of charge. The manufacturer then tries to contact everyone who owns that type of car to get the recall work done.


These recalls always affect safety, so take them seriously. It’s easy to see if a vehicle’s being recalled. 

The government has links on its websites, such as http://www.nhtsa.gov, and there are many websites with free recall information and searches. There’s carfax.comautobytel.com; and dmv.org


Recalls are serious, but not all that common. Sometimes there are less significant issues, and for these, manufacturers issue a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB, which tells service centers how to repair a frequent or difficult problem.


The pros get updated information through subscription plans, also available in consumer versions for a reasonable cost.

So, when vehicle recalls occur, get the work done, and keep you and yours safe.
