No matter how well they’re made, vehicles will have design or manufacturing problems. And when the government thinks a problem is really serious, they require the car maker to issue a recall notice and fix the car free of charge. The auto manufacturer then tries to contact everyone who owns that type of car to get the recall work done.

These recalls always affect safety, so Vancouver car owners should take them seriously. It’s easy for Vancouver folks to see if a vehicle’s being recalled.

The US government has links on its websites, such as the NHTSA, and there are many websites with free recall information and searches. There’s carfax.com; autobytel.com; and dmv.org.

Recalls are serious, but not all that common. Sometimes there are less significant issues, and for these, auto makers issue a Technical Service Bulletin – or TSB, which tells auto service centers how to repair a frequent or difficult problem.
