DID YOU KNOW?
As of July, 2026, about 5 million repairs of defective and potentially deadly airbags still needed to be completed [1]
STAY INFORMED
- Each year, millions of vehicles are affected by safety recalls, and some remain on the road for years without receiving required repairs.
- While vehicles can look and drive normally while having unresolved safety defects, they can pose serious and potentially deadly risks.
- In the largest automotive recall in history, about 67 million Takata air bags were recalled due to risks of explosion, resulting in serious injuries and deaths.
HELPFUL TIPS
- Check for recalls using your VIN number, located at base of windshield by the steering wheel
- If your vehicle has any recalls, have it promptly fixed by calling your local dealer - repairs are free
- Don't ignore recall notices; they indicate a safety-related defect that could potentially be serious or even deadly
- Sign up for recall alerts to be notified of future recalls affecting your vehicle
- If you buy a used vehicle, verify whether any recalls remain open
