How vehicle recalls work
🏛️
NHTSA issues the recall
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration orders a recall when a safety defect affects a vehicle. Manufacturers can also issue voluntary recalls.
📬
Owners are notified
You should receive a letter from the manufacturer. But many owners never get it — check MyOBDCode proactively.
🔧
Dealer fixes it free
Take your vehicle to any franchised dealer for that brand. The repair is 100% free, no matter how old the vehicle or whether you're the original owner.
⏱️
No expiration
Federal recalls never expire. Even if your car is 15 years old and has an open recall, you're entitled to a free repair at any time.
