Check to see if your car is on the list.
While we all buy cars hoping that what we've chosen will keep us safe on the road, there's always the chance that a certain make or model can be a part of a recall.
The chance of that happening to you is pretty high, actually. Just over 27.7 million vehicles were recalled in 2024, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While that's an improvement on 2023's count (33.6 million), it still sounds like an awful lot.
If you've never been a part of a recall, there's no need to panic if you get a notice in the mail — it's typically a fairly simple process to remedy the problem. The automotive company doing the recall will contact customers directly by mail, phone, or email to let them know the recall is happening and the reason why. From there, you take your car to the dealership and it will typically replace the faulty part at no charge.
