Millions of vehicles have been recalled due to safety defects or noncompliance with federal safety standards. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has created a free on-line search tool you can use to find out if your vehicle is directly impacted by a recall.
The tool is available on www.safercar.gov/vinlookup and provides a quick and easy way to identify uncompleted recalls. Note: Over 1/3 have not been repaired!
Just enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to find if your car has been recalled and also if it has been repaired.
