Recall Alert

A NHTSA vehicle safety recall is issued when a vehicle or vehicle equipment has a safety-related defect or does not meet certain federal safety standards. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, also known as NHTSA, provides recall information to help vehicle owners identify open safety recalls and take the appropriate next steps.

Your Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN, is a unique 17-character number assigned to your vehicle. You can typically find it on the lower-left corner of the windshield, on the driver's side doorjamb, or on your vehicle registration and insurance documents.

An open recall means a safety recall has been identified for the vehicle and the required remedy has not been recorded as completed. If your vehicle has an open recall, review the available recall information and contact an authorized dealership for your vehicle's manufacturer to discuss the appropriate repair.

Safety recall remedies are generally provided at no cost by the vehicle manufacturer through authorized dealerships. If your vehicle has an open recall, contact a dealership for your vehicle's manufacturer to confirm the available remedy and schedule the necessary service.

Review the recall information and follow any safety instructions provided by the manufacturer or NHTSA. Contact an authorized dealership for your vehicle's manufacturer to arrange the appropriate recall remedy. If the recall includes specific instructions about operating the vehicle, follow those instructions until the issue can be addressed.
