Keep Up to Date on The Latest Vehicle Recalls

Vehicles today have more computers and technology then ever before. Car recalls happen all the time that we never hear about. We suggest that at least once a year that you get your vin number and input it into the link below. Your vin number can usually be found in 3 places. On your tittle, the front drivers side of the vehicle right under the windshield or when the driver’s door is opened stamped on the inside of the door.

There is no shortage of recall notices on most every vehicle, we just have to decide whether it is a serious problem or not. Often times recalls are more of a frivolous nature and you don’t need to be in a hurry to have them fixed. Then there are possibly dangerous and life threatening recalls such as the Takata Airbag Recall that do need to be addressed as soon as possible.

I know a lot of you also own other vehicles so I am providing links to many vehicle brands. These are useful links to find out about all your vehicle’s recall notices. Please check your vin in the below provided links:

Quick Links to Check for Vehicle Recalls

Several customers asked that I do a follow up on recalls and gathering up the links for all the car manufacturers. I will get back with you about the Takata airbag recall as soon as I hear anything more.

We know everybody doesn't own a Toyota or Lexus so I have included the links to the top 11 auto manufacturers. The Takata airbag was installed in most of these manufacturers models excluding Hyundai and Kia.

Often a recall can be very serious and possibly life threatening such as the Takata airbag recall that affects between 35 - 40 million vehicles. It's been several months since I was issued a Takata recall on my own car however Toyota has not offered a remedy as of yet. My current solution offered by Toyota is still “we recommend that you do not operate the vehicle with an occupant in the front passenger seat” That statement does nothing to comfort me about the state of my car. I will follow up with another email once I finally received word of a solution from Toyota.

There is no shortage of recall notices on most every vehicle, we just have to decide whether it is a serious problem or not. Often times recalls are more of a frivolous nature such as a recent recall because the lack of power window switch lubrication.

To check your vehicle for all recalls just enter in your VIN (17 characters and numbers ) ) located on your dashboard at the bottom of your driver's side windshield. These sites will tell you of the Takata recall or any other recalls that might be for your vehicles.
