Recalls For October 19, 2015


It's Monday.  The start to another exciting week!

This week the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued several recalls for trucks and recreational vehicles.  Cars do not dominate the list but no matter what type of vehicle is recalled the safety concerns with them could cause injury or worse.  Not only could you be injured or killed but passengers and other motorists could have the same fate due to a fault in your vehicle.

As you review the list you'll peer upon issues such as incorrect tire labeling.  You may think this is unimportant but if an incorrect tire is installed or a tire is not properly inflated tire failure might occur and cause a collision.

Review the list.  If your vehicle is affected please have it repaired as quickly as possible.  Your life and the lives of others might be at risk.

Have a safe motoring week!
