Your vehicle may be involved in a safety recall and may create a safety risk for you or your passengers. Safety defects must be repaired by a certified dealer at no cost to you. However, if left unrepaired, a potential safety defect in your vehicle could lead to injury or even death. Read this entire email to find out more and learn what you should do next.
What is a recall?
When a manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) determines that a car or item of motor vehicle equipment creates an
unreasonable risk to safety or fails to meet minimum safety standards, the
manufacturer is required to fix that car or equipment at no cost to the
consumer. That can be done by repairing it, replacing it, offering a refund
(for equipment) or, in rare cases, repurchasing the car.
The following recall may apply to one or more of your vehicles. Click on the NHTSA Campaign ID number below to read more about the safety issue and the reason for the recall.
