What is a Product Recall?
How Consumers Are Notified of a Product Recall
Safety recalls will always be notified by mail, but sometimes also by email, text message, or app alert. Read the instructions for a recall carefully. If a recall is issued with a “DO NOT DRIVE” warning, take the warning seriously. The vehicle may need to be towed to a repair facility or repaired at your home or business. The manufacturer may offer a warranty extension for the affected parts or system. Keep documentation of the warranty extension for your records. If an authorized repair facility refuses to repair a recall, the NHTSA offers the following advice: If a dealership refuses to repair your vehicle according to the recall letter you received from the manufacturer, you should notify the manufacturer immediately. In most cases, contractual agreements between a manufacturer and its dealerships require all dealerships to comply with the recall and repair the defects at no additional cost, regardless of where the vehicle or equipment was originally purchased.
Do Car Recall Repairs Cost Money?
Under the law, if a vehicle recall has been initiated, consumers are entitled to a free, prompt repair. In most cases, there will be a lag between the date the manufacturer decides a recall is warranted or the agency's final decision, and the date the repair is available to consumers. Defective parts and systems can contribute to the problems you're facing with your car. The My Lemon Lawyer team is constantly monitoring new recalls and can advise you on your vehicle safety concerns.
If Your Defective Car Is Recalled, Take It to the Dealership Immediately for Repairs
