You don't need to worry if you get a letter in the mail about a recall with your car. Recalls are relatively common and are generally related to minor parts or components. It is essential, however, to take the proper steps, and bringing your vehicle to a Hyundai service center is a big one. Here we look at why recalls are issued and how you should proceed.
Why Do Cars Get Recalled?
Car companies operate under strict regulations, meaning every vehicle they make must meet specific safety standards. A recall notice will be sent out if something goes wrong and poses any danger.
Who Issues the Recall?
Some recalls are self-reported and come from carmakers. Others will come from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA). The reason is the same in both cases: to keep you as safe as possible on every drive.
What Do You Need to Do?
The first action you should take is to read the recall notice completely to understand the issue. Then, you should schedule an appointment with the service center at your Hyundai dealership in Van Nuys to get the problem taken care of. If you’re unsure if your vehicle is subject to recall, you can check the OEM website, our website, or the NHTSA recall database.
What Will Recall Service Cost?
By federal law, most recall repairs on cars built within the last fifteen years will be free of charge. If a recall affects a vehicle that falls outside that window or applies to specific components like tires, recall repairs may not be covered, but this is relatively rare.
