What Are Auto Recalls and How Can Patrick Cadillac Help?

If you are informed that your vehicle may have had a recall placed on it. We at Patrick Cadillac are here to assist you. But first, let us explain what exactly a recall is in the automotive world.

What is an Auto Recall?

A recall for any product means that the product has been identified as having characteristics as being defective or dangerous to the consumer or the community at large. In the automotive industry, the same idea applies, but to things like the vehicle, tires, seats, and so on and so forth. In essence, an automotive recall is a way for your car’s manufacturer to tell you that there could be something wrong with your vehicle.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) sets national safety standards and can influence or order manufacturers to repair these safety-related defects. If the NHTSA determines that there is a reason to have a recall, the word is spread to consumers and possible owners of the vehicle so that the appropriate repairs can take place.
