Car Recall FAQs

When an automotive manufacturer issues a car recall, it can be on one or more models. It’s important to keep your eye out for recalls as they could affect the safety of your Orlando Toyota. If Toyota were to issue a recall, they would send a letter to those customers affected by specific recall. This letter would include information like:

• Make and model specific information so you can confirm your Orlando Toyota is affected
• A description of the defect in your car to raise awareness
• The potential hazard or injuries from the defect so you understand the totality of the risk
• Warning signs so you know what to look or listen for
• Manufacturer’s plans to fix the defect
• Instructions on how to get it fixed

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also keeps an up-to-date list of automotive recalls on their website. If you don’t receive a letter, it’s best to check this site regularly for updated lists of car recalls – all you have to do is search by VIN. This helpful website also lists safety recalls for child car seats, tires, and other equipment.
