Recalls For July 28, 2014

Good Morning Everyone!  Happy Monday!

It's another week and recalls keep pouring in.  Years ago there were not as many recalls as there are today.  It might be that consumers are not as tolerant as they once were or the machines we drive are so complex that even issues such as a broken stabilizer link is a safety hazard.  This week you'll read that a stabilizer link is among the recalls.  Certainly the link helps control a car.  It helps counter forces when making a turn so a car does not lean as much in a turn.

Other recalls on the list include fires and air bag problems.  If your car is affected please have it repaired as quickly as possible.  We want you to be safe.

Recalls for July 21, 2014

Nothing says more about the complexity of our vehicles than recalls.  One recall on the list today deals with tire pressure.  Tire pressure is crucial in the ability to control a car.  Just ask a race car driver.  A difference of a pound of air can mean winning a race or crashing into a wall. 

This week there is a recall for incorrect labeling of tire pressure.  While it may not seem too important to have the correct pressure in your tires please have this recall issue corrected as quickly as possible.  We want you and other motorists sharing the road with you to be safe.
