Happy Monday.  I hope you had a safe motoring Christmas holiday.  Let's remain safe for the remainder of the year and be especially cautious during the upcoming holiday and 2017.

Despite many businesses being closed for Christmas, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued their list of recalls.  Many are for trucks and recreational vehicles but some cars have safety issues that need attention.  This week's issues include welds that can break, axles that can't bare the load, air bags fail to work, fuel leaks might cause fire, engines might stall and more.

Please review the list.  If your vehicle is affected by a recall please have it repaired as quickly as possible.

Have and safe motoring week and a Happy New Year!

Tire Recall

Good morning,

Over the weekend the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sent out a recall for certain Pirelli tires.

Please review the recall.  If your vehicle is affected please have the issue repaired as quickly as possible.  



Please click on the following NHTSA Campaign ID links to view the recall information.

NHTSA Recall ID Number :
16T018
Synopsis :
Pirelli Tire LLC (Pirelli) is recalling certain P Zero All Season tires, size 275/40R19 101W, manufactured February 29, 2016, to October 29, 2016, as an original equipment fitment exclusively for certain Maserati cars. Due to an incorrect carcass component, the affected tires may develop cracks in their lower sidewall, possibly resulting in a loss of air. A loss of air may result in tire failure or a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. Pirelli will notify Maserati owners and the dealers that purchased the tires as replacements. Pirelli will work with Maserati to replace the tires, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in December 2016. Owners may contact Pirelli customer service at 1-706-368-5800.

Recalls for December 5, 2016

Happy Monday everyone.

This week the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list is shorter than usual.  I doubt it means carmakers have finally made perfect vehicles.  Be sure when the NHTSA investigates an issue and determines it is a safety concern they will recall the vehicle to have the problem corrected.

This week issues include propane leaks, aluminum ladder troubles, issues in a throttle circuit, engine coolant leaks and doors that may open unexpectedly.

Please review the list.  If your vehicle is affected have it repaired as quickly as possible.  Your life and lives of others may be at risk.

Have a safe motoring week!
