Recall

A recall is a notice sent by a vehicle manufacturer to owners of a vehicle advising them that the vehicle has or may have a serious defect that may compromise the safety of the vehicle and that the service departments of that manufacturer's dealers will make any necessary replacements or repairs free of charge. Ordinarily, recalls affect only a portion of the production run of a given year, make and model. For more about recalls, please see A Quick Guide to Recalls.
