What is a recall?
When a vehicle manufacturer or the NHTSA discovers a flawed component of a certain vehicle, a recall will be sent out to registered owners of that vehicle so that the issue can be resolved. The manufacturer must take steps to correct these issues at no cost to the owner. Our team of technicians are highly trained and will get your vehicle back on the road as soon as possible, repaired and safer than ever.
What is the NHTSA?
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is a federal agency that is responsible for overseeing vehicle safety standards. They provide safety ratings on vehicles from a range of manufacturers. The mission of the NHTSA is to "save lives, prevent injuries and reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes, through education, research, safety standards and enforcement activity."
How do I know if the used vehicle that I'm interested in has a safety recall?
If you're shopping for a used car and want to make sure that it doesn't have any recalls, simply search for the vehicle on the NHTSA website using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or the vehicle's year, make and model. You can also enter the VIN on the Hyundai recall page to find out if there are any safety recalls for a specific Hyundai model. In addition, we can give you the vehicle's CARFAX® Vehicle History Report™, which includes safety recall information, if any.
How will I find out if my vehicle is subject to a safety recall after I purchase it?
In the event that your Hyundai has a safety recall, you will be informed via phone, email or mail by the manufacturer. The report will disclose the safety issue with your Hyundai and tell you the course of action to take. Please note that your state registration info will need to be current in order for you to receive a recall notice.
