Receiving a recall notice can be frustrating, confusing, and concerning. But you can rest assured they are meant to be anything but that. A car recall lets us, and you know that there is a safety issue. With expert service and mechanics from Schmit Bros, you can rest assured that your car will be safe again and we can get your recall taken care of as fast as possible to get you back on the road.
A car recall, also known as a safety recall, is a notice of a faulty part in your vehicle that can ensure the safety of it. This issue can possibly pose a safety risk to you and others either in your car or on the road. If your car or a part on it has been recalled, the manufacturer will cover the cost to have your vehicle inspected, and the faulty part repaired or replaced so your vehicle is safer to operate. You will get a notice in the mail and your car will be “noted” at the dealership that a recall is in place.
But you may think “my car is working just fine!” Even if your vehicle seems to be operating fine, that doesn’t mean it isn’t already affected by the issue. For your safety and the safety of others on the road, you should take your vehicle to the dealership and make any necessary repairs. Again, recalls are at no cost to you.
As we mentioned, a recall is a safety risk in your vehicle. In some cases, that can mean your car isn’t safe to drive at all and must be repaired immediately. Your recall notice should let you know how severe your issue is and if it’s okay to bring it in for repairs or if you need to schedule a tow. Most times, it is okay for you to drive your vehicle to the dealership to have the recall taken care of. There are usually timelines on how severe it is to get your recall fixed, but the best way to do it is usually ASAP.
