Recall Recap For The Week Of November 18, 2013

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

I'm not one who supports government intruding in our lives but one agency I can be thankful for is the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  My opinion is that without them vehicles may not be as safe as they are today.

I remember the days way back in the stone age when my parents car was not equipped with safety belts. Id sit between them on a front bench seat with no air bags to stop me from going through the windshield in an accident.  Times sure have changed.
       
Since the government shut down, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration seems they have been up to their elbows in recalls.  Last week was no different. 

Issues this week include shorted wiring, corrosion that could affect vehicle control, engines that stall in emergency vehicles, inoperable door locks, cracked wheels, improper gas gauge calibration, cracked welds, battery equalizer fires, hot exhaust that causes fires and more.

Please review the list of recalls.  If your vehicle is affected please have the issues repaired before injury or worse occurs.
