Recalls for May 25, 2015

Today is a special day.  Not only has the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration been working diligently to keep us safe on our roadways but this is a special day to remember our fallen military men and women. 

Please take a moment of remembrance for military men and women who gave their lives for our country and freedom we all enjoy.  Also, please honor those former military members who kept us safe and were in harms way but returned to loved ones and the country they embrace.  And please honor those presently in the military who have the job of keeping us safe and are fighting for us as we enjoy comfort and freedom.

Today's recall issues focus on recreational vehicles with a host of safety problems from fire to failing structural beams.  Cars and pickups also have issues.  A pickup might lose it's steering.  Air bags in cars could rupture.

If your vehicle is affected by a recall, please have it repaired as quickly as possible.

Recalls for May 11, 2015

Good morning everyone.  This past weekend, I hope you had time to honor your Mom. 

This morning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is doing it's job of issuing recalls.  There are quite a few.  Issues this week include broken gas lines, air bag problems, broken wheel studs, suspension issues, wipers and lights that quit, a trailer that might detach from a tow vehicle and more.

Besides the military, the NHTSA is one federal department that actually seems to be looking out for us.  If they were not in business I can't imagine vehicles would be as safe as they are today.  And if it wasn't for this department we might not know of defects that could cause us harm.

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

Have a safe motoring week.
