How To Be the First To Get Automobile Recalls

Each year, it seems that the automobile manufacturers issue hundreds of recall notices. Some affect the current model year, others affect vehicles manufactured years ago. If you bought your vehicle used, or have moved, you may never get notice of the recall. Any easy way to determine if your current vehicle has been the subject of any recalls is to visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website to check. You can also sign up on this site for receive recall alerts via email. I have used this site before, and in fact my wife has shown up at the Volkswagon dealership, before they dealership has even received word of the recall. Always make sure that you have the work done! Usually it is free or at a reduced rate, and in some cases, if you have already paid for the work, you can get reimbursed.
