Why Does My Car Have a Recall?

Ford recalls are issued if the NHTSA discovers a performance, construction, material, or component defect in a vehicle. But how is “defect” defined? A defect is anything that poses a risk to the driver’s safety and may exist in a group of vehicles with the same design or same manufacturer. So, have any issues been recalled for your car? 

How Do I Check for Recalls On My Car?

The steps of how to check for recalls on your Frankfort car, SUV, or truck are simple. First, write down your Vehicle Identification Number. It’s located on your title, as well as your vehicle’s certification label. The certification label is most often found on the driver’s side of the mirror or the door sill of the driver’s side door. Once you find your VIN, plug it into the Ford recalls finder tool, bearing in mind that if your vehicle is more than 15 years old, you’ll need to contact Ford customer service.
