    Understanding Auto Recalls

    By Weeks And Associates | Archive, Blog Posts, General, Personal Insurance | 0 comment | 10 October, 2019 | 0

    What happens when your car is recalled?

    Many car owners may have heard about major auto recalls on the news.  However, the last thing that you expect is for your car to be recalled.  But what does a recall really entail and how serious is this issue?  Here’s what you should know about auto recalls.

    Recalls Explained

    A recall occurs when a car manufacturer determines that a certain vehicle does not meet current safety standards.  Recalls can be placed on the car itself or on a specific part of the car.  For instance, commonly recalled parts include the following:

    • Steering column (that doesn’t work effectively)
    • Accelerators (that stick)
    • Wiring (throughout the vehicle)
    • Airbags (that deploy improperly)
    • Fuel system (that is inefficient)

    How Do You Find Out About Recalls?

    There are two main ways that drivers learn about recalls.  First, car companies will notify customers through a mailed letter.  These notices are issued within 60 days of the recall being announced.  Second, car owners can actually check for recalls themselves through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  This department has a database of all recalls, and drivers can plug in their VIN numbers to see their car’s recall status.

    What Happens When Your Car Has Been Recalled?

    If your car has been recalled, then the auto manufacturer is legally obligated to do something about it.  This means they are responsible for refunding, replacing, or repairing your car.  It’s also important to understand that recalls do not have a set expiration date.  Oftentimes a recall remains in effect until the vehicle or faulty parts are no longer made, or the manufacturer is no longer in business.  So, while you do have some time, it’s best to take your car in to the dealer or repair shop to have the issues addressed as soon as possible.

    This is what you need to know about car recalls.  Do you have other questions about your car, for instance, inquiries about your auto insurance?  If so, then contact the experts at Weeks & Associates Insurance Services in Thousand Oaks, California.  We are ready to assist you with all your car coverage needs today.
