What to Do if Your Vehicle is Recalled

Automakers always want to keep their cars running as safely as possible, which sometimes means they must issue a recall. Fortunately, we’re more than equipped to handle a safety recall for your vehicle here at Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM. This is what you need to know about recalls and when to contact our Fresno Dodge service center.

Why Recalls Happen

A safety recall occurs when an automaker or the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) realizes a problem with a particular part or system in your vehicle. All cars are put through rigorous testing processes before they reach consumers, but sometimes real-world driving conditions create unexpected issues.

Some recalls can be as specific as a single trim for a single year, while others encompass multiple years or even multiple models from the same manufacturer. In either event, however, the goal is the same: keeping you safe on every drive.

What to Do When You Get a Recall Notice

If your vehicle is ever subject to a recall, you’ll receive a notice in the mail. You will also often receive a notice from your dealership encouraging you to set up an appointment. Most recalls are easy to deal with, and our service center can fix things quickly.

When you have that recall notice, it’s vital that you act fast. The notice will tell you that you need to see a mechanic approved by the automaker. Our dealership and service center fit those criteria. So call us or visit our website and schedule a service appointment. You won’t be charged for our work to fix this safety issue.

If you receive a recall notice, visit our Dodge service center in Fresno. And remember that if you need routine maintenance or new Dodg parts, we can help you with that too. Let our factory-trained mechanics take care of all of your automotive needs.
