What Vehicle Owners Should Do Next
If your vehicle is listed in these recall reports, dealers will perform all necessary inspections and repair procedures at no cost to you.
- Verify Your Vehicle: Check your specific 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate using the NHTSA Recall Look-up Tool.
- Contact a Dealer: Reach out to your local authorized dealership to schedule a service appointment for any open recall campaign.
- Stay Alert to Symptoms: Watch for early indicators related to your vehicle’s specific safety concern (such as unusual suspension noise, fluid leaks, or dashboard warning lights) before your repair appointment.
You can easily locate your vehicle’s 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) directly on the vehicle itself or on standard ownership paperwork.
On the Vehicle
- Driver’s Side Dashboard: Stand outside the car near the driver’s side mirror and look through the lower corner of the windshield. The VIN is stamped onto a small metal plate.
- Driver’s Side Door Jamb: Open the driver’s door and look at the post where the door latches (or along the inner door frame). It will be printed on a manufacturer certification sticker alongside tire pressure info.
- Under the Hood: Printed on the front of the engine block or stamped on the firewall separating the engine from the passenger compartment.
On Paperwork & Digital Documents
- Vehicle Title & Registration: Listed clearly under the vehicle details section.
- Auto Insurance Card & Policy: Printed on your digital or paper insurance ID card next to your vehicle’s year and model.
- Vehicle Bill of Sale or Financing Documents: Found on purchase agreements or monthly loan statements.
Note: A valid VIN is exactly 17 characters long, consisting of capital letters and numbers, and will never contain the letters I, O, or Q to avoid confusion with numbers.
