What to do if your vehicle has a recall

  1. Read the risk and any "park it" or "park outside" warning first. Those mean don't drive it or don't park it near buildings until it's fixed.
  2. Check your exact VIN on nhtsa.gov/recalls, or call a dealer for your brand, to see if your vehicle is included and still unrepaired.
  3. Book the free repair with an authorized dealer. Ask if they offer mobile service or a loaner.
  4. Keep the paperwork. It proves the recall was done if you sell the vehicle.

Recalls are only part of the picture. For everything else your vehicle needs, a mobile mechanic can come to you. Vehicle recalls explained.
