Increased Recalls Making You Nervous About Your Vehicle?

November 30, 2015 6:04 pm Filed to: Cars by Jerry

It seems like every day there is a new recall on a vehicle for something faulty. Sometimes recalls are on something simple, yet many times they are on something that if left to falter could cause an accident, and even death. If you have a used car there is even a chance that you won’t get a notification in the mail alerting you to a recall.

Young-woman-worried

That is a frightening thought. So, what is it you can do to ensure your vehicle is safe for you and your family? Here are a few things that might help you put your mind at ease each time you get behind the wheel.

Get Regular Maintenance

Regular vehicle maintenance is important and can make a difference in the life and driveability of your vehicle. Your mechanic has a better chance of finding something wrong with your vehicle before it causes an accident as well. It’s kind of like going to the doctor on a regular basis to get checked out, even though you pretty much feel fine.

Your vehicle might seem to be running fine, but you may find you have a slow leak in your oil or maybe even a tire. Early notice could save you from a blowout on the expressway or it could save your engine.

Pay Attention To Changes In Driveability

Don’t just rely on your mechanic to tell you when something is wrong with your vehicle. It does a lot of good for you to pay attention to the sounds your vehicle normally makes and how it normally drives. If you notice any differences don’t be afraid to bring them up to your mechanic, it may be a sign of something bad.

Check Online For Recalls

Even if you haven’t received a notice that your vehicle has been recalled you can get online and check on recalls. This is a great benefit to people that own used vehicles, especially those that weren’t purchased through a dealership. Just looking up the VIN number can alert you to any recalls for your particular vehicle.

Stay In Touch With Your Dealer

If you purchased your vehicle from a dealership it behooves you to stay in touch with them, even after your vehicle is paid off and even when you aren’t having any major issues. Sometimes taking your vehicle in for repairs to your actual dealership can save you money, plus they already know your vehicle. By keeping in contact with them they may alert you to recalls before you get that notification so you can be prepared.

There really is no reason to live in fear if you haven’t gotten a recall notice, but it doesn’t hurt to keep up on the care of your vehicle so that you can learn about issues ahead of time.
