The center for auto safety
Okay this one is a little different but what a terrific resource! Every year there are a bunch of recalls on cars for all kinds of reasons. If you have moved since you bought your car there is a good chance you won't get the recall notice. There are probably a lot of other reasons you won't get the recall notice. Let's say you bought your car from another owner. You might not get the recall notice because the dealer doesn't know you own the car! It is important that you know about these recalls not only for safety reasons but for monetary reasons as well. When something does go wrong with your car why should you have to pay to get it fixed if it is a problem that is under recall? I entered my vans information only to find out that the power door handle for the sliding door on the passenger side has been recalled. It is a power door so if you pull at the handle the door will open by itself. Apparently there have been some people maybe kids who didn't let go of the handle once the door started opening and injured their arms or wrists when they hit the seats in the back. I would have never known this recall was in place or that this could even be an issue! Now I know to make sure not to let at least the little kids open the door using the handle. At The Center for Auto Safety you can quickly and easily find out if there are any recalls or service tickets for your car. Just enter the make, model and year and you can view all the recalls, why it was recalled and the potential problems. You can also view other peoples complaints, ongoing lawsuits, how a vehicle did in safetly testing etc. If you own a car or are buying a car this is a great place you should check out!
