Vehicle Recall

A vehicle recall is a formal request by a vehicle manufacturer or government agency to inspect and repair or replace a vehicle that has been found to have safety-related defects or non-compliance with safety standards. Recalls can involve various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and motorcycles, and they typically arise when a defect that could pose a risk to safety is discovered after the vehicle has been sold to consumers. Manufacturers are legally obligated to notify owners, dealers, and the appropriate government authorities about the issues affecting the vehicles and to provide remedies, which often include free repairs, replacements, or refunds. Vehicle recalls are essential for ensuring public safety and maintaining vehicle reliability, as they address potential hazards that could lead to accidents or injuries.
