A Chevy recall is an important notice that something is amiss in your vehicle. It’s also a notice that your vehicle might not be completely safe to drive. But with the help of the experts at Foundation Chevrolet, you don’t have to worry. Here’s what you need to know when you get a Chevy recall notice.
Why Am I Getting a Recall Notice from Chevrolet?
If a manufacturer discovers that one of their vehicles poses a potential safety risk, or if it no longer meets motor vehicle safety standards, they’ll alert the owners with a safety recall. This is typically due to a defect in one or more of the car’s parts, components, tires, or seats. You’ll be notified about a safety recall through first-class mail (as long as you’re a registered owner of your vehicle, with up-to-date contact information).
What Does a Recall Notice Entail?
The recall notice will let you know which part or parts are affected and how serious the safety risk may be. It will also let you know if it’s safe to bring your vehicle in for repairs or if you need to schedule a tow. Don’t worry, any services or corrections your vehicle needs to make it safe again, are complimentary.
What is the NHTSA?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is part of the U.S. government’s Department of Transportation, and it’s designed to keep people safe on the road. They enforce safety standards and, if they aren’t met, you could receive a safety recall from the NHTSA as well. The NHTSA is also a great resource if you’re unsure if your vehicle has open recalls.
