First, let’s address the obvious question, “What is a recall?” Car safety recalls address product deficiencies that negatively affect safety and could potentially put occupants in jeopardy. If your Ford vehicle has a recall, recall service can be completed at no extra cost to you, regardless of whether your car is still under warranty or is new or used. Below, you’ll learn more about Ford recalls and how to handle one.
When recalls occur, notifications are sent to the owners who are affected via first class mail. There are a number of situations, however, where the owner of a recalled vehicle may not receive the notification. For example, if you’ve relocated or you purchased a used car and the notification was sent to the previous owner, you may never get the letter. If you own a Ford, though, you can check the recall status of your vehicle online. Simply submit your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and you can view information about any Ford recalls pertaining to your car.
It’s easy to find your car’s VIN. It’s a 17-character number that you can spot on your purchase documents, insurance card, car title, and registration. You can also locate it inside your car. Typically, the VIN is located near the windshield on the driver’s side dash or inside the driver’s door.
