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.
